So I probably won't be able to get to posting the short story tonight and instead reflect on 3 good things today:
1. SS - It's nice to receive good feedback/healthy criticism and recently I've been sharing my short stories. And it was nice to read that a friend of mine enjoyed one of my fave short stories I've written for the year. Actually of my short stories thus far I've figured my favorites so far have been Ned Finally Died, The Job, Haunter's Anon (at least the concept of it), and Clifford's Baby.
2. Work - I had an hour meeting with one of my projects. It was a follow up meeting I'd been putting off since I knew it would take a lot to work through everything and we took the whole hour plus needed more time to be frank but I hit my deliverables associated with the meeting, ran it, and feeling good even though the scope of the project has expanded. I'm not big on public speaking so I always get anxiety whenever I know I'll have to speak but I made it through :)
3. House update - So this can sort of b. Ie a testament to the week but in trying to potentially close sooner rather than later I got my earnest money into my agent, submitted an app to another lender to see what they might offer (vs the discount I get with my job), and submitted some of my docs I needed. Tomorrow I'm planning to submit for the appraisal and hopefully know which company I'll be moving forward with.
I also had a realization tonight. And it wasn't so much a realization but a confirmation of something I'd been thinking for awhile. Once I finish my revision with TYW if the traditional route doesn't work out I'll probably self-publish it. Once I get to the part where I'm querying or a little before I'll probably start looking more into the marketing aspect and figuring out what I'm comfortable (and capable) of actually doing.
Anywho need to do a couple more errands tonight and try to head to bed. Will hopefully be shooting out of work early tomorrow so I can go to the library and work on my short story.
