I was just reading with some envy all the good things which have happened to other people today. "I want something nice to happen to me," I thought wistfully.

And then an email arrived to let me know I've been accepted into the SHOT summer writing workshop! It's a week of intensive writing and editing with about a dozen people on Cape Cod, with all expenses paid, if I remember the details well enough.

It does involve working on another writing project, but such a good one to work towards, and it dovetails closely with one of my dissertation chapters.
