First thing I'd like to say is Happy Australia Day to everyone! I hope you're enjoying the long weekend and the requisite backyard BBQ - I know I am!
Second is I am not looking forward to the next few days. The forecast for the next few days is forty degrees Celsius, or around abouts. That's bad for several reasons:
1. It's very hot, even at nighttime.
2. Now that I'm catching the bus to work instead of driving, I have to find ways of keeping cool while walking between work, the bus stop, and home.
3. It gets too hot to go house-hunting, although the bonus is you can work out which houses don't have adequate cooling in them.
4. I don't tend to write much in hot weather. When it's hot, I tend to do things that don't require much energy, or thought. Things like lying on the floor ... in front of the air conditioner.
Enough of the complaining. I actually did manage to motivate myself to submit a story to a magazine today. This is a short story that I actually outlined last June, wrote in September, sent as an assignment to my writing tutor and despite the good feedback am only now submitting it.
My resolution for this year? To stop procrastinating! :)
