2009 opened with a sigh rather than a bang around here. My husband and I looked at each other at quarter past eleven and decided to give it up. He was sleeping soundly when I watched the clock turn, my mind awhirl with excitement over the coming year.
Closing out the 2008 year, I had some serious reflection and reorientation of direction. It marked the publication of my novella and a host of learning on my part, but it also was filled with trials – mostly internal.
I only made one resolution for 2009 – to but all that behind me and move forward. There’s no where to go but up!
ANGELIC AVENGER is back in the vault pending revision. HEART OF THE TIGER is awaiting revision, too. LOVE AT FIRST SHOT is finally coming out of the vault and on the market.
The docket for 2009 is pretty much set. I have a vampire book nearly finished, a werewolf story ready to start, Del and Doom are slotted, too – for those of you who have asked for more of that story – and added to it is another Angel book – this one darker, edgier, and more romance oriented. Yes, I’ve taken the wonderful feedback from ANGELIC AVENGER to heart and refocusing the Angel world accordingly with renewed excitement.
Stay tuned for more news as the ball gets rolling.
How did you close out 2008? What kind of resolutions and realizations did YOU make?

I love werewolf stories. If you publish that one let me know. I will likely review it on our own site.
Cheers,

Oh, and too answer your questions: 08 closed out pretty much the same way as yours. My wife and I made it until midnight, but not any longer…
My main resolution for the year is to finally get some of my fiction work out their.
*grins*
Isn’t it a shame that the older and more settled we get, the less fun we are on that sort of thing? So many of my friends were out in the chaos and I didn’t even feel the need to do more than curl up beside the fireplace. We even let the kids stay up until elevenish…and are so paying for it today!
I’ll keep you posted on the werewolf book! Thanks for the offer.

Hey Kay,
I wish you the best of luck with your writing. We all have those years (some of us more than others…grin…). You will have a much better year…
If you get a chance, check out the group blog I’m participating in with some fabulous authors. We would love to have you comment…

Happy New Year my friend sorry I’ve kept to myself so much, here’s wishing you the best for 2009
Happy New Year, Kaye! We let our kids stay up until 11-ish as well and then sent them to bed, where one son stayed up until the magic moment. Both his dad and I were zonked out by that time. *g*
Congrats on publishing your first story! That’s something to be proud of. I loved it and can’t wait for more. I’m so glad you’re fired up to keep writing.
My big goal this year is to roll with the flow, both with my writing and my family. I expect to have some challenges, but will try to focus on the positive accomplishments and not panic about the upcoming work and responsibilities.
Looking forward to the vamp story, Doom and Del, and the new angels!
