You know those moments in life where you envisaged you’d have some downtime to put your feel up, relax, and maybe read a book for an entire day? I imagined experiencing a handful of “lazy days” during the winter school holidays, but so far… I’ve been busier than usual.
Between reclaiming the laundry and washing a huge amount of clothing (always fun during a cold, wet Melbourne winter) and celebrating my birthday (seems I’ve been partying all week!), I’ve been on-the-go since the school holidays started a fortnight ago!
Here’s a quick rundown of the past two weeks:
- Housework.
- Finally(!) submitted my Christmas manuscript to the publisher.
- Shopped with Miss F for necessities and fun things (like popcorn containers for the fancy Movie Night she organised on the evening of my birthday!).
- Enjoyed a fun but tiring (almost five hours of driving) round trip visiting family.
- Office work (the Australian financial year ends on 30 June).
- Discovered Broken Spirit shortlisted as a finalist in the Omega Writers CALEB Awards, which left me stunned for a few hours. I’m still trying to wrap my head around this wonderful surprise! 🤩
- More work. 😉
Maybe I’ll get to read next week?
Speaking of reading, my Christmas novella called A Sun-Drenched Christmas (Anna Beaufort’s story!) is available to read now! 🥳
Once Upon a Christmas Romance includes eight brand new Christian romance novellas and costs 99c in America ($1.48 in Australia). It’s also available for borrowing through Kindle Unlimited.
For a quarter the price of a takeaway coffee, why not spoil yourself and enjoy some Christmas in July?
Until next time,
