Last week was a flurry of being busy for various reasons. And yet, amidst it all, I managed to rewrite a short twice until I was pleased with it, slapped a title I'm not over the moon with on it, and sent it off.
Hitting send too a lot more courage than I expected it to. I don't expect anything to come of it (low expectations = low risk of disappointment) but I'm proud of myself. It's the first time I've ever submitted something I've written for publication. We'll be notified in March, so I'm going to push it out of my mind and keep working on something else.
I'm also trying to figure out a way to rearrange my schedule outside of working hours to accommodate more writing time. At the moment it's a 6am-10pm day, and in the evening I'm exhausted. So I'm thinking of pushing it to a 7am-11pm day, moving gym going to the evenings when I can and settling down to write afterwards. I normally feel so energised after the gym that it could be a good way of trying to get those mental juices flowing. But we'll see!
Mostly I just want a half hour back where I can read in bed! I miss books!
