Week of: 5/2/26

Woot!

Do you see this, universe? Two weeks in a row -- yer boy is serious!

Another only somewhat productive week of writing, but I'll take it. Every step forward is a step forward. I've had more rejections, too! Well, one. One rejection. It will take some time to get things cranked back to the point where I'm getting them regularly, but I'm excited for that.

I'm not even being facetious. I love getting rejections! Mostly! Certainly I love getting acceptances more, but I've at least trained myself to understand that each rejection is a stone on the path towards eventual success. (The chocolates my writing group Wordos handed out for rejections helped somewhat in that regard, I'd imagine. Thanks, Wordos!)

Now, you might be asking whether I'm just going to come on here each time and talk about getting rejections... and I'm wondering that, too! But for now, it's just about putting in the time, building the habits that I want to have, so please bear with me: an imperfect man on an imperfect journey.

In other news, I finished Christopher Moore's Fool. It was enjoyable, for sure. Not too deep... and not trying to be, and that's a-okay. I plan on following up with the sequel through audiobook. (Do audiobooks count as "reading"?)

If you're reading this, I just want to wish you a fantastic day/week/life.

Till next time! 😄
