It’s the last official day of the push up challenge, and the target is 150 push ups, for the recommended 150 minutes of physical activity per week.

I’ve got some extra push ups to do to back fill the days I lost to the flu.

Thanks so much to everyone who donated or encouraged me this year!

The penultimate day is also the biggest day of the challenge. I’ll be doing 230 push ups today, for the two out of three Australians who feel financially insecure. Wish me luck.

Today is a great day to donate as Northern Star are matching all donations up to 100K.

Had the flu and wasn’t able to do any push ups for the last three days, so I have some catching up to do over the next week.

Ripley was so beautiful that I would now watch anything directed by Steven Zaillian. And all future crime shows must include Lucio the judgmental cat.

I'm starting up a new, very short email newsletter containing links to markets open for novel or short story submissions. It will be monthly at a minimum, fortnightly at a maximum, with only 10-12 links in each one so it's not overwhelming.
If you'd like to subscribe, follow this link:

fc145d52.sibforms.com/serve/MU

And if you know of any open markets that could be included (with deadline of at least the end of August 2024) you can let me know here!

An image of a book with water swirlling around it, as though it's been plunged into a pool. THe title The Publishing Plunge is across it, with cartoon figures of people in swim suits diving into the waves. This long image is places on a background of book pages (which I had to do to make it square!)
