- I finally sent out my newsletter again. I last sent one in March 2015, so the update was a bit overdue. You can actually read the newsletter without subscribing, but if you read my blog you've probably seen the highlights anyway.
- Also made a video the same day (Saturday). It's nice when the videos are easy and quick without much editing to do.
- Went to dinner with my mom on Sunday night, and we hung out for a long time after.
- Made a bunch of Pitch Wars blog posts this week, gearing up for the big event. Which sneakily opened for submissions on Friday night instead of Monday, because Brenda is silly. :)
- Tuesday
I went to Mom's, had pancakes and blackberries, and helped her with
some chores. Also finally got to go to the craft store, which is
something I put off because I go inside that place and spend all my
money.
- Jeaux and I ate at Pei Wei (I had tofu pad thai) and we watched America's Got Talent.
It's finally getting good now that we're at the live shows. I didn't
think I'd care this year because the auditions were kinda meh, but we're
having fun now. :)
- Finally got edits out to one of my
critique partners. (He graduates to critique partner rather than friend
who reads my junk because he finally wrote a book for me to read!) And
helped him with his query a little. He's entering Pitch Wars but not
submitting to me.
- I made a silly video for my personal channel inviting people to come ask questions for me to answer to celebrate hitting 5,000 subscribers. The comments are already full of great questions. I just hope I hit 5,000 soon so I can close the comments, or the answering video will end up ridiculously long.
