December arrived with
a bone-chilling wind out west this year. I gaze at a dozen summer plumped Dove
huddling on a weaving ocotillo branch, and wonder how long before it snaps.
Everything has its limits – including me.
And that’s basically what’s on my
mind today, this first Wednesday of the month when IWSG
members convene through blogging, Facebook and
Twitter to
talk about whatever is on our writing minds and agendas. See what we’re all
talking about here.
By design or curious coincidence, the Question
of the Month: “In terms of your writing
career, where do you see yourself in 5 years, and how do you plan to get there?”
is perfectly timed for the week of ‘National Write a Business Plan Month’!
Where do I begin when the trouble seems to lie in finishing
what I’ve started?
Five books, five years and who knows what in between.
Sounds doable, but something has to give. My day job? Nah, I like the money. Writing?
No way! Socializing? But I love it…
Perhaps it’s the holiday frenzies! Right now I delight in
the dazzling displays, the renewed sense of hope and plans being made, the
promise of bright smiles, big hugs, and
good cheer. The roaring blaze can wait, I think, while I enjoy the kindling warmth
of the season.
So if I don’t get around as much as I’d like in the next
few weeks, know that you’re not far from my thoughts or my insatiable interest
and that I wish the happiest of holidays to one and all!
Merry Christmas, everyone!
What was the greatest gift you ever received in a small package?
