Ups. And Downs
This month has had its ups. And its downs. I sent in edits for an anthology horror story around the theme of AIR for a diaspora anthology, SILK & SINEW. In addition, I copy-edited several short stories and academic essays for Roses & Wildflowers magazine and assisted with a grant application. The productivity has not gone down.
One up was winning a prize in a summer reading challenge. I had entered before in summer and winter. Since it’s a competition where your entries for reading or attending library activities are put into a drawing, it’s more of a random raffle. We also don’t know how many enter.
Then I got a call, saying I had won a prize. I was not expecting it, and it was nice. After filling out some paperwork and taking a photo, I got to take this basket home. I’m waiting for a good time to open it, since it has a lot of books and tickets to the November Book Fair.
We take the ups as time passes, even when other stresses intervene. Because they help us get through the day-to-day.
