Christmas is finally winding down and most of us are looking forward to the New Year, more alcohol, food and eventually weight loss. This is a very special time of year for me,It’s my DS birthday on New Year’s Eve and as promised we are off to Keswick to celebrate his 6th birthday and bring in 2007.
Also, my youngest is starting school January 3rd. This is something I am not looking forward to *sniff*. But, there is nothing I can do to stop it as its all part of growing up and I know Olivia will love school (at least until the novelty wears off!). So I am enjoying this holiday and staying away from the W.I.P. Times like this put my priorities in order and makes me sit back and think of all the fantastic things I have achieved this year. Things like passing my PCV licence to drive a mini-bus, completing my first historical romance and then submitting it. In 2006 my aim was to have a full manuscript requested by an editor and luckily this has happened, if I sell ABK or not, I am darn proud of that fact.
What do I want for 2007? I’m not going to say published because ultimately that’s out of my control. What I want is to continue to grow as a writer and strengthen my craft, submitting manuscripts that are strong, with great writing and characters that make you laugh and cry and take you with them on their journey to their own happy ever after. I know the line I’m targeting, I know what that line should deliver to its readers and there is an editor that thinks I have potential.
The rest is desire and determination.
I also hope Edward has a great birthday and Olivia enjoys her first day at school.
