Day 25 - Submitted

Well, my short story is submitted, for better or for worse. I have a few days before I can post it up, but I'm pretty certain it was not my finest work. I feel like it had a problem with pacing, but also there is no character development. I guess there wouldn't be in a tale of a woman running from her own "ghosts" honestly. 

I only had one reader this time, as my other beta readers were very busy not reading stories for silly competitions. I guess that's why I feel pretty worried about the story this time. I don't really have much in the way of feedback. My hubby said he didn't have a problem with the pacing, explained he thought the ramped up elements were really good, and thought it was enjoyable. I'm not holding my breath for top 5 this time. I wish I had a bit more confidence about it.

On the note of yesterday's post, I went to the doc today to get some antibiotic eye drops for my conjunctivitis. My vision is super blurry today, so I've been useless pretty much. Hubby and a friend are outside building a temporary dog fence and I feel bad I can't help. My face already feels burnt after being out there for 30min overseeing operations.

Decided to come in in the air con. Cuz it's super hot out there. I go out momentarily to refill their water bottles and test the security of the fence. 

They're doing an amazing job. Can't wait to pick up my little girl next weekend. :)
