The birds are tweeting, the sun is shining, and I’m awake. I also FINISHED BOOK 2!!!!!!!!!!!!! On December 31, at around 11:14 PM, I raced through the finishing lines of the story.<\/p>\n

A year and a half ago, I made a list of goals for 2018-2019. One goal was to make a 2nd edition of\u00a0Fish Out of Water<\/em>, one was to do 12 watercolor paintings, another was to finish the “first draft of Book 2 (end of December.) I still have not accomplished the first two, and I did the third by the second December hoped for. I did, however, manage to get 9 fine art print listings onto my Etsy store, LightofDelight.<\/p>\n

I cannot tell which I’d rather do: jump headlong through Books 3 and 4, and edit all of them afterwards, or to start from the beginning . . . Yeah, I’ll start from the beginning, and then look at the story as a whole, answer some fundamental questions about this world, and shift around plots and moods and ideas until I come up with something a little more presentable for whoever my editor(s) may be.<\/p>\n

I found I could not make a 2020 New Year resolutions\/project goals list so far, because what I have to do involves in too many steps and waiting to see what the best road ahead is. New opportunities could crop up as well that I wouldn’t be able to foresee. Who knows what this year will bring? Who knows what the year will bring for you!<\/em><\/p>\n

Have you made any resolutions or goals for this year or decade?\u00a0Also, Happy belated New Year and ninth day of Christmas! And Happy early Twelfth Night!<\/p>\n
