...A conversation yesterday with one of my editors resulted in my picking up an extra article. It only (only!) needed to be edited from 2800 to 2000 words. Since most of my readers don't write for a living, let me describe this as a mixed blessing. While it's nice to get the work, that kind of editing is actually more difficult than the original writing, at least I find it so.
Then, again yesterday, a new magazine client picked up one of my submissions. There was an update and a few changes required. Again, all good, and money in the bank but this assignment accounted for the late night.
Finally, today, an article submitted long ago that I thought was history was commissioned, but required extensive updating and the editing of about 250 words to bring it down to a word count of 1000. Again, all good, and it only happened because I was on the internet to take the assignment in a timely manner because of yesterday's blessings.
So, no boat work today, but nonetheless, a good day. Tomorrow will be sunny and warmer - and if I get this last assignment done tonight, and the photos chosen and sent in, I'll be off tomorrow.
And you guys thought it was all rum, palm trees and paradise out here!
