Three days to go and we can say goodbye to 2008.
Wow. Can’t believe how fast it’s snuck up on me and surely I’m not the only one. Three days to go.
So, this morning I’m sipping my hazelnut cream coffee and thinking about next year and what I want to accomplish. As of now, I must write a second book and have it handed in all shiny and pretty by September. That gives me a lot of time….I’ll have copy edits and such in regards to my first book. I’m so thankful to be able to say these things…Aside from the must do’s…..I would like to write a Young Adult and I’m working on an Urban Fantasy type story….as I sit here typing it’s amazing to me that I can even contemplate selling more stories…..it still doesn’t feel real. But thanks to certain people in my life it is a reality and one that I’m going to grab hold of and make the best of.
So, as I close out 2008 I want to thank my husband for not complaining (too much) about the amount of time I spent writing and pursuing my dream.
I’d like to thank lauren Hawkeye for giving my that push, that little bit extra oomph to get me going.
I’d like to thank Laura Bradford for taking a chance on my manuscript and dealing with a newbie author, and Esi Sogah for loving my Jaxon and Libby as much as I do.
And I’d like to thank my kids, Jacob and Kristen for making me smile and feel loved and for making everything worth while.
Good bye 2008 and Hello 2009…..I can’t wait to meet the endless possibilities the next year brings!
what about you? What would you like to accomplish?

Accomplishments desired for 2009:
1) Write and (oh, please, literary gods & goddesses!) publish (well, sell) my novel
2) Stop with the processed sugar, already. It’ll be hard, but I’ve done it before. A month at a time is my mantra.
3) See my grandmother live and live well (she’s been hospitalized for the past two+ months).
4) Maybe buy a house. Cross fingers!
Um, that’s all. That’s enough for now, yes? Merry end of the year to you, Juliana! Hope the snow is still lovely as far as you’re concerned…
