Challenge #12 - Tell Us about a Personal Win.
Tonight was one of them. It's the first time in almost four months I went out to do something fun. I went to a Cirque Mechanics (the small traveling cirque du soleil troupe) show Zephyr. I met up with friends and we went. It was just wonderful. I have long been fascinated at what a human body CAN do. I still want to know what has to be hiding in the one acrobat's top knot that she can be hoisted in the air and swung by her hair. I'm still stunned by the strongman of the troupe holding a may pole on his forehead (no hands) while another little acrobat is doing her thing ten feet up on that pole Or how one of the male acrobats could jump backwards through hoops or another of the male acrobats on this spinning hamsterwheel some twelve feet up on the OUTSIDE of the wheel jumping rope.
Why me going to this was such a win is I've been stuck in the house after discovering I have endometrial cancer. I had to miss all of my favorite things for halloween out of fear of falling/hurting myself on paranormal investigations or getting covid. Nothing was delaying my surgery and then post losing a few organs I had to stay pretty much doing nothing much for 8 weeks to heal.
Another win was the fact, I dealt with the cancer diagnosis well. I managed to get from diagnosis to post op in a month.
Other wins include the fact I sold two short stories and a novel last year. In fact the novel is out next month. You can read about it here. I do have some arcs for review for These Haunted Hills if anyone is interested.
Last year I wrote about 240K of fanfic and 64K of original fiction and this year I'm at about 15K combined for fanfic/ofic
