Friday Fricassee

And so the year draws to a close!  Admittedly it's my happiest New Year ever.

Stay tuned for the next installment of my "journey story."  It's taking a bit of time to get together, but it'll be worth it because--wait for it--Josh and I are co-writing it.

Oh, yes.  You're going to hear the rest of the story from his perspective as well as mine. 

And I know you love getting inside agents' heads as much as I do.  So this is going to be fun!  Look for it next week.

In the meantime, have a glorious and peaceful transition into the New Year!  As always, I'm thankful for the time I've spent with you.

I leave you with a thought:  Earlier this year, I claimed 2010 as my Year To Get An Agent.  It took the entire year, but it happened!  So instead of making silly, guilt-invoking New Year's Resolutions, why not claim 2011 as your year to Accomplish Something.  You don't have to reach for the moon, but don't settle for the sand at your feet, either.

Even "Completing and Editing My Very First Novel" is a worthy goal.  Finishing ANYTHING you've begun is a worthy goal!  So don't make promises for the New Year. SET GOALS.

Because anything can happen.

Anything.

And I can finally say that with authority!

Happy, happy, happy New Year.

  8. Happy New Year!!!
    I definitely want to finish my first novel this year. But I'm also hoping to be moving out of country, so I might be a tad busy. :P
    But I'm sure I can do both if I try!

    Thanks for the inspiration :)

  11. Happy New Year!
    My goal for the year is to finally write something I like enough to try to get published. I have something I'm almost done with. Now I just need to finish it up and work up the courage to query.
