Yesterday I spent 2 hours outside of my home getting groceries. It was a somewhat surreal experience, but at the same time it wasn’t uncomfortable or weird. Just… didn’t feel “real”.
I managed to get enough groceries for a month, if not significantly more. Not enough fresh veg to last that long, obviously, but lots of frozen veg and canned goods, if needs be.
The nice thing is knowing I have these supplies, and going through my existing emergency food supplies and making sure everything is up-to-date and tasty. I plan to eat a lot of chickpea curry, for example, because I have a tonne of coconut milk and chickpeas… but this is great! Because I love chickpea curry.
Anyway, neither here nor there. Just an interesting life blip, I suppose.
My editor contacted me yesterday, let me know she was still working on Novel 4 at a rate of about 2 chapters a day. It’s not a long book, but I honestly can’t remember how many chapters I put in there, so… it’ll be done when it’s done. And then I’ll finish the final edits, find a cover for it, and put it up for sale! It always feels a bit weird to put new work out in the world… satisfying, but also terrifying. I hope people like it. It’s a departure from my usual style. More “Western” than “Space” in this case, but obviously a healthy dose of both.
Hope everyone is staying safe and healthy!
