Happy Friday the 13th! Always one of my favorite days on the calendar.
Have I got links for you! š
First of all, I hope youāll come join me today in a virtual Disco Zombie Party to celebrate the release of HEX BREAKER, over on Author Roast and Toast, later today, going well into the night. Attendees have the chance to get the new Billy Root story before it goes live!
Second, my article on āSmart Gardeningā is up on Fifty is the New Fifty. Iām doing six articles for them (I sent off my fourth last night).
Third, Iāve got a piece up on the Writers Vineyard (as Annabel Aidan) about the pleasures of discovering a short story is the seed for something bigger.
Before I could even post this, I conducted an interview for another client. It went very well — I really, really like her and think we can work well together.
Yesterday was crazy busy. I kept thinking, āI can blog in the next hourā and then I couldnāt. My apologies.
Yoga was fantastic. I had to do some errands, including a stop at Country Gardens to pick up some petunias (the pansies in the urn are fading), and get more bamboo hoops, this time for the wisteria. I worked with students, worked on articles and short stories, and considered how to rework my resume geared to a specific Boston facility.
Iāve got a lot of writing and teaching to do today, along with errands, so I better get going. Tessa is grumpy this morning, because she canāt be outside as much as sheād like. She learned pouting and sulking from her big sister, Iris. Canāt the twins teach her any GOOD habits? š
Have a great weekend, everyone! Itās supposed to get hotter over the next few days — weāve been so lucky, weather-wise.
