Some time soon I'll know if any of the short stories I've sent out have been accepted and the waiting is driving me nuts! I keep seeing all these contests I could submit them to, but I can't until I know if they've been chosen or not. I can't write new stories for the contests because my proof reader is riding me for a chapter a week from my novel or else. I will admit that he was very patient while I was writing the shorts so I owe it to him. I'm just going arrrrg!
I know I'd have more writing time if I wasn't out taking so many photos and making a pest of myself at the local shelters. I could try not sleeping, but that would only free up about 5 hrs a day and them I'd really go insane.
On the plus side my photography is really taking off! I got some great shots of wonderful animals at the Humane Society of Southern Arizona on Friday, Thank you Sara! I'm going to become a full volunteer so I can take pics anytime and the husband is doing it with me!
Sweet dog smile!
She wants a good home!
He's a real looker!
Look at that grin!
Toothless and lovable!
The sweetest dog I've ever met!
I wanted to take her home so badly!
I'm lined up to take pics for a few more shelters at Petsmart on Saturday! I have a gallery that likes my animal shots and wants 6 by the middle of next month! And to top it all off crazy me I put an ad up on Craigslist to get people to pay me to do what I love!
I also made a strap for my ukulele finally to top things off. You'd think I would be too busy to stress about my story submissions, but it's always in the back of my mind and it rams to the fore when I send a chapter off.
I hope all of you are doing great. Sorry I suck at keeping up on the blogs, I will find a balance and hopefully soon!
My goodness you are busy! I love the dog portraits and I too would have longed to bring that moggy home.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with your stories!
Thanks! She's so sweet!
DeleteI love these photos! That first dog truly looks like he's smiling. He probably is :)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the stories!
They were all so happy to be outside. I hope they find homes fast!
DeleteThese are great shots! The animal shelters are grateful, I'm sure. Are you a volunteer photographer, or will you be doing other volunteer stuff at the humane society too?
ReplyDeleteI'm just doing photos for now. They already have walkers and cleaners. I'd like to be a cuddlier though and I will be helping them with the rodents if they'll let me.
