2017 is going to be a milestone year, I can feel it. Not only is it the
Year of the Rooster, which is the same as the year in which I was born, but it
is also a year filled with promise, potential and possibilities.
I am going to take my writing to a whole new level. No more
procrastinating, excuses, whines or reasons. Instead of resolutions, I have an
Action Plan, capital A, capital P.
My short term goals started this weekend, with more to
follow at 3 months, 6 months, etc. With the help of writing friends, my path to
future publication is being built, one piece of gravel at a time (not up to
paved paths yet but that will come! Perhaps even my own yellow brick road…I am
a Gale after all.☺)
My long term goals have been hibernating, in a secret part
of my heart, for years and it’s time for them to shake off the lethargy and
come into the light of day. It’s been easy for me to put things off but time is
precious (and always was) and the older I get, the more I realize and
appreciate the here and now.
So right here, right now, I invite YOU to join me on this journey
into my imagination and onto the printed page or out into the digital world.
I will blog my journey regularly and would love your company! I plan to share writing and life tips, recipes, photos, missteps and milestones as I
traverse the next steps to my dream of having more published works and
sharing my words with as many of you as possible.
FYI - I don’t write in any one genre – my works-in-progress include
picture books (the story part, even my stick people look like, well, not
sticks), middle grade reader stories, a romance and a short story anthology. Some
fiction, some non-fiction, and all from my heart to you.
I’ll be adding an area where you can sign up for my
mini newsletter which will contain information on potential upcoming published works,
excerpts, and maybe even a free e-book or two! Coming soon...
Promise, potential and possibilities – welcome to the wonderful world of my 2017!
