Throw Me a Rope

For a while I thought I was drowning in so much work and busyness that I might never get to write again.

So many apologies for not being here and not posting of late. Who knew I would suddenly be working twelve hour days through most of December. Although I sometimes wonder what I'm doing, (I mean I am retired you know) it has been good; kept me focused on something other than both my kids not being here for Christmas.

My schedule has, however, kept me from the writing desk and I am itching to get back. My characters are swirling in my head, wanting to move along in their story. I also have made a promise to beta read someone else's work and I have only started and must finish soon. And the stack of books in the "to-read" list is like the leaning Tower of Pisa it is growing so tall!

The memoir has been knocking on my brain as well so I am excited to get back to my creative life.

I hope the new year brings me some balance. I will be back here regularly after the 3rd of January. I don't make resolutions, they depress me if I don't keep them, so I won't promise anything but I've missed being here.

Before I go I must thank some women in my life and in my writing life who made 2010 the best. They are all so very creative and nurturing and giving of their talent, time and love. They make me want to be a better writer. So many heartfelt thanks to @PennyJars, @2KoP, @pinemeadowpond, @MendiD, @thebirdsisters, @Christi_Craig, and @charissaweaks, I hope to one day repay your awesomeness.

To all of you may the new year bring you health and happiness and may there be Peace.

Cheers.
