azhureYesterday was an incredibly good writing day for me, surpassing what I’d hoped to achieve. Which translates as over 2,500 words and the discovery of the end of this draft of Ghosts. I feel like I’ve found the shape of the story now, and have passed it onto my writing group to see what they think. Hopefully at least one of them has time to look it over before the next meeting, which is tonight!
Does anyone else have the time and inclination to beta read for me this weekend? This draft is just over 6k, and it’s dystopian science fiction. I really want to get to work polishing it on Monday, so I’d need some feedback before then.
The rest of the day was spent mostly doing house stuff and chasing the kidlet. I have started making some inroads into my Aurealis Award reading and managed to find my first truly awesome story. This is why I love reading for awards – I read a lot of stuff that isn’t my personal cup of tea, but there are the incredible gems that I wouldn’t have necessarily read.
I did get a couple of bonus hours to myself (alone! in the house) because the husband took the kidlet out in the late afternoon. My brain was, as always, fried by then, so I did a little reading and then just settled back and watched some Skins.
And now it’s the weekend! We have a bit of running around to do today, including the excitement of me getting my hands and feet X-rayed to see if I’ve had any joint erosion from my arthritis. Always fun. And tomorrow is Father’s Day, which is going to be bittersweet. Awesome that the hubby gets to get celebrated, but it’s the first Father’s Day for me without my father here. Still, I’d rather that than he still be alive and suffering the way he was for the last few months of his life. Cancer sucks, as I think many of you will agree.

I hope you get through Father's Day okay. Offering hugs if you need them. :)
