I’m not posting as much as I should because I’m still kind of in honeymoon mode. But it’s been a productive day for me, and I have to admit, in spite of this whole business, I’ve kind of enjoyed being quarantined with my new wife. Originally, before everything went down, we were supposed to have our marriage and honeymoon this next week, so we still have a block of time off coming up, which we’ll now have as a staycation (both of us, fortunately, are still able to work during all of this). Today, I made her brunch while we streamed an Easter Mass from her home country—the Philippines—over her phone.
I also finished a writing project I’ve been working on and a book I’ve been reading, and yesterday I finished something else I want to talk about—so I should have some posts of substance in the next couple of days.
Unfortunately, I still don’t have a publisher at the moment. I have manuscripts out, but what with everything going on, I don’t respect quick responses right now, so I’ll wait a few months before I begin shopping the manuscripts to other places. Anyone reading this blog will of course be first to know if something breaks. I’m contemplating self-publishing Jake and the Dynamo and its sequels.
For now, though, I think it’s time to get to the writing project I intended to start after the one I just finished.
Also, I’ve been really dissatisfied with my physical state since they closed the gym I go to, but my magical girl just introduced me to a great app for home workouts. I did a good one today that left me panting and will continue tomorrow, so I think I can get back in shape. I’m all around in a good mood right now.
I realize not everyone is doing so well, but I hope for good things for all my readers. Stay safe, and happy Easter. He is risen.
