So I haven't posted for a while. But after a spectacular day with Anarkey and her family yesterday, I thought I would follow her good example and try to post more.
Thanksgiving was lovely - great food, wonderful company and games. Just perfect. To crown the day I got an acceptance on a short story as well. It's based on the concept Belinda is based on, and Belinda is what I'm trying to finish for the start of next month. It's close, really close (about 40 pages left to write) and I have somewhere to send it. The deadline is what's making me write and having a book done by the end of the year and sent would be wonderful. I'm also going to try an clear the marketing, so I have nothing sitting waiting for an edit in January. If I'm successful in this, I may even meet the submitting one thing a week challenge from the beginning of last year.
Game is also some fun at the moment. Sophia is back - with all that entails, and it looks like the praxis wheel has finally left St Louis, so I can dip my toe in other politics.
In other news, I joined the Catholic Latin mass choir, because I missed singing in Latin. The choirmaster is in the Welsh choir. I love the music, and the people are pleasant, but I'm very worried about the more crazy end of the church. I almost left twice over the second amendment, but reasoned that I can probably discuss it better with those with opposing views now I know what they are being told from the pulpit. I'll be singing a little solo stuff for midnight mass.
Teaching is going very, very well. I'm coming away from Monday lessons feeling I can make a difference. I wish people would spend more time giving one another confidence rather than taking it away. Self-belief is so easy to lose.
Winter is coming. This makes me happy.
