This day is the same as any other.

Here we are, the final nail in the coffin of 2010. I don't feel a desire to pump this coming year up with false claims of epic potential. Come on, how often does that pan out? Nor do I want to assume the worst or curse the hindsight that blurs visions of year's past together.

It is what it is, simple as that.

Some things will change, better or worse. Some things will be unwavering. I do have a few resolutions. To be perfectly honest- more than a few.

1. Get an agent
2. Publish novel one
3. Finish novel two
4. Keep being an amazing mother (I said amazing, not perfect. It's the strive.)
5. Get into even better shape than I accomplished in 2010
6. Stop running from your intuition
7. Remain firm (cryptic and all encompassing..... and for good reason)

I would love to hear your resolutions as well. We are off to get my hair done, it has been so long. New year, new pic of the hair...all to come.

Regardless of the tight rope I walk in regards to the celebratory nature of the day.....Happy New Year.

I never was one who could contain myself

So, looking through the many scribbles I have collecting in piles, trying to sort it all, I realized even as I am taking a few steps to clear my head I haven't unclenched my fingers from the novel still. I can't seem to disengage.

And I've been naughty. I already have most of the first chapter of the second novel started as well. Tsk tsk.
Other than that, my pretties, I don't have much to offer. The second coming is brewing beneath my skin begging me to give in. Do you suppose I will?

The Inaugural Post

Welcome.

It's a blessing to have you reading this. I am creating this blog before the actual start to my official writing career in the hopes that my first official and completed novel will be reaching publication in 2011. I have been writing for many, many years and decided it is time to stop dreaming and make this passion a reality.

Pipe dreams don't bring paychecks after all.

The first initial draft of the novel is completed and circulating with 3 trusted pairs of eyes. Then comes the task of whipping my creation into a masterpiece with the collective insight. And on to publication and into all of your aching hands!

This will have to remain short but sweet. As much as I long to pour my soul, my past, and my hopes for the future out to you- I still have the duties we all do when you're so many things to so many people.
Until then. Dream.
