January 1 -- a fresh start?

January 1, 2010

Today I vow to post in my blog daily... okay, at least every other day. I know I have been slacking on this end.

I met my friend Joanne the other day at Panera Bread for breakfast and actually spoke the words, "I don't even feel like a writer anymore." It made my stomach clench when those words rolled out. Then I realized if I wanted to BE a writer or FEEL like a writer, then I'd better darn well write. Right?

Today I am going to sit down, assess my goals and start the year off right. Joanne and I said we were going to be each others' writing muse so that she would finish her book about her dogs and I would begin my online teaching of courses and actually work on my novel-in-progress. We hugged on it -- that makes it real.

So, forgive the shortness of this post but I have tea to brew and goals to plan.

Good luck with the goals! I've had to cut back blogging a bit while I've been working full-time, but I'm hoping to get some more writing done this year. I've got my eye on a few writing courses that will hopefully help boost my creativity! :)

Hi Bonnie,
I figure now that I have said publicly that I am going to write I will be "forced" to -- either that or eat crow and I am not all that fond of poultry. (smiles)

Thanks for writing. I'll be doing a post at the Lipsticking Society website on Saturday about grammar.
