Year End Roundup
Hello, Readers!
I hope this Holiday Season finds you warm, happy and healthy.
The temperatures in Missouri have fluctuated from let’s take a walk pleasant, to you couldn’t pay me to go outside cold.
We’ve set up our tree, decorated cookies, wrapped gifts, and watched enough holiday films to last until next year.
It’s the time of year for reflection and goal setting for the next revolution around the sun. My list is short, but not any less lofty than previous years:
- Be more patient with myself and others.
- Make time to exercise and eat well
- Distribute Pandemonium Book 2
- Apply to grad school
A few of those items are pretty standard. We can always be more patience, especially with ourselves. Caring for my mom and raising my son has spread me pretty thin.
Most of us could use a few more days a week at the gym or out walking. I’ve made a pretty good habit of working out at least three days a week for the last few months. Stepping on the scale still hurts my feelings, but I can still button my jeans, so I’ll take the win.
It’s happened. Yesterday I sent off the final draft of The Girl and the Clock Tower Murder to my editor!
I can’t express how good it feels to have it off my desk and in someone else’s camp for a while.
As soon as it comes back to me, I will plan my pre-order strategy.
And finally, yes. You read that right. I am applying for grad school…again.
This time, instead of Library Science, I’m going for a Literature degree. My long game is to teach at the university level, maybe overseas? We’ll see how it goes. I need to get accepted first.
