Is it almost midnight,
when the bells will chime?
Can it be the new year?
Is it really time?
Yes, it's almost midnight of the old year and time for the new year to ring in! How fast the months of 2011 have flown. It's now the 11th hour and time for the annual stock taking.
Time for the reckoning of our writing!
How did I use the many precious hours of the past year for my writing? Will I carve out ample time and regulate myself to write next year? Looking back I did put in time at my desk formulating new story ideas, characters and plot and molded some into new manuscripts as well as working on some WIP. I started the year off with a SCBWI writing conference in Miami which I left charged and ready to go and started a new manuscript that week.
During the year I kept at it but occasionally lost steam, as we do from time to time, but then I got back to the computer and started again. And I love the process once seated and let the mind work and the fingers tap away. I am excited about an old WIP that I just started to work on again so the new year will start out well. I just need to keep the furnace burning all year - I have the fuel but need to keep the fire lit!
What are your hints for the next year?

I'm starting the new year waiting, waiting to hear from an editor. So what else is new?
ReplyDeleteWhat do I hope IS new? An inspired idea to work on while I wait.
Reading, reading, reading. Writing, writing, writing. Waiting, waiting, waiting.
ReplyDeleteNot necessarily in that order.
