Happy Friday! As promised, to make up for not posting last week, here is my second calligraphy post for the week.
“People say that life is the thing, but I prefer reading.” Logan Pearsall Smith
I like this quote because it seems a little bit cheeky to me and it also sums up how I’m feeling at the end of this week. It’s been a short week (yay for 3-day weekend!), but a long week with all the work that needed to get done. So I’m a bit drained and feel like curling up with a good book, a cup of tea, and my cat would be a pretty fine way of spending the weekend.
In other “not day job news,” I finished my latest round of revisions on a draft manuscript and I’m sending it out to beta readers now (thank goodness for awesome friends and my patient husband). I think that a reward of reading a new book sounds like just the thing as I also dive into finishing up a short story I want to send off for an upcoming anthology call. (Nothing like writing more and sending out more stories to stack up those rejection letters. What doesn’t kill us when sharing our writing (or calligraphy) makes us more determined, right? At least that’s how I’m going with it, along with a good book to read while waiting for the letters. 🙂 )
So I think it’s going to be a reading weekend. I’ll probably do another “What does this stack of books say?” post soon, too. Until then, I hope you have a fabulous weekend full of reading if you, like me, find that reading is sometimes life, too. 🙂
