April review

I think back to last month and it reminds me of the end of last summer and autumn, a whole lot of scribbling going on...

Having sent off the manuscript for the Faulkner-Wisdom competition, I turned back to the act of creating, penning two stories. It felt good, strange too, one the beginning of a series, the other hastily brought together. The last was written as quickly as it hit me, and while I have no complaints, there is something about writing on the fly, letting ideas loop to the next, and while that manuscript contains several inconsistencies, minor to fix, I like the overall feel of it.

Such a joy is this work!

I did some editing as well, was sick as a dog for a few days, celebrated my forty-fourth birthday and quarreled with my youngest daughter. All in all, a month where the positives outweighed the sorrows, even with a major stomach bug to start the month.

Even with that, April ended well, and I say bring on May! Oh, it's already the 4th...
