If you happen to live in a place that will have clear skies tonight (or tomorrow), rejoice! It is time for that highlight of the annual meteor shower cycle, the Geminids.

Geminids meteor shower: What to know, viewing tips – NPR

The Geminids, which are bright and have a yellow hue, are considered one of the best and most reliable annual meteor showers, when at least 120 meteors are usually seen per hour during its peak, NASA says. 

The Geminid meteor shower peaks in the middle of December, with the most activity this year expected late Friday and into early Saturday, according to NASA.

Alas, we expect snow and clouds here tonight, but I’m happy knowing that you, dear reader, might have a chance to see one of the most spectacular shows in the solar system.

It’s perhaps a funny thing to celebrate but if you’re a writer this may strike a chord.

My email this morning contained a rejection, and it’s had me smiling all day.

Apex Magazine put out a call for flash fiction about memory, and I happened to have a flash piece on memory.

I submitted.

They responded.

With rejection, yes, but it was a personal rejection with phrases like “this is beautifully written” and “hope to read something from you in the future.” 

I’ll take that:)
