Two new pieces per month

Happy New Year!

It is time to think about fresh starts. Whether it be weight loss or writing more (both in my case), we should evaluate our goals and work to make them happen this year.

One of my goals is to exercise every day. I've done so since December 14th (with the exception of sick days - 4 of them). So, I'm off to a good start!

Another goal is to write two new articles or short stories or book chapters per month.

I love having checks in the mail and watiting for my newest article to surface.
However, I'm in the middle of writing a romance and need to do regular work on it, as well.
So, I have enough irons in the fire to keep me on task (hopefully).

I suggest that you not make too many demands of yourself this year. Leave time for lazy-day window shopping, relaxing in a porch swing, or sipping hot cocoa in an oversized chair while watching "You've Got Mail" for the fifth time.

We need those "down times" to allow our brains to rest - before taxing them once again with our demand for new ideas.

God bless you and yours this new year!
