Did you have a cozy holiday weekend? I hope so. I did. We no longer have a fireplace but the hubs and I put one of those TV ones on with the Christmas music and had an enjoyable Christmas Morning with Spirit the Cat. I got a bean and spice grinder and so made some fresh coffee for us. We both got some new PJs and that made it even cozier!
So, my novel, Consequences, is currently being checked over one last time by me before I make a date with a great editor referred by a friend. I had sent her the first ten pages and she looked through it and gave me some pointers. I did notice a few things that needed sprucing and that’s what I am doing now.
My first publication, Poetry Through Darkness, is available on Amazon at the moment. Despite being for sale right now, I have a secret to share with you! It will be free this Saturday and Sunday! Yes. One whole weekend the kindle version of Poetry Through Darkness will be free. I could use some reviews on it so if you buy it or wait until it is free, please leave a review. I am hoping to generate some interest along with the other over 1,000,000 books currently for sale on Amazon. My father would see that and tell me to not even bother, and twenty years ago I would have listened.
The New Year approaches and we all know what that means… resolutions! Or as I like to call them… goals.
I don’t have many this year.
- Get my novel published.
- Pay off some debt.
- Get back in shape.
- *be able to quit the day job*
They are the big three – and one wing and a prayer one – for me. The novel is a huge one. I feel like this novel is the one! I truly do. I was thinking of doing some character posts. I have read these before. The writer posts a blurb from one of the main characters as if the character is speaking directly to the audience. Have you ever seen anything like this and what did you think?
I hope you all have an awesome rest of your week! It is bitter cold here on the East Coast today so I am truly doing my best to stay cozy. Being at work, however, they frown upon fuzzy blankets, good books, and giant mugs of hot chocolate!

So exciting. Good luck on your novel. I hope it takes off and you get substantial fans as a result!

Hi Teresa… thank you so much. 🙂 I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t day dreamed a few scenarios. 😉

What a lovely way to enter the new year!
They don’t even allow hot chocolate where you work? That’s not nice!
My husband and I do have a fireplace downstairs, but we also caught a glimpse of the burning fireplace in TV. We were glad they kept that.

Hi! I love that you have a fireplace! The fireplace TV app is the next best thing. Being in this freezing cold office is not cutting it for me today. There isn’t a giant mug of hot chocolate that could change that! 🙂

I hope you have the cozy blanket and warm mug waiting for you at home. I’ve been telling my pet parrot how lucky he is to live in our warm house while other animals live outside, especially when he sits on the windowsill looking out. It’s cold where I am, too.
