New Year 2018
1. Publish a second
illustrated witch book for children.
2. Seclude myself one week a
month until I finish a first draft of my 1672 story.
3. Learn to ice skate.
4. Go to church Sundays.
Two of my resolutions are
about writing, which I’ve neglected for two months. I thought my witch
story was practically ready to publish when I realized that it will in some
respects be a sequel to my first children's book, in which the witch discovers she’s
allergic to cats. What’s a witch without cats? The follow-up book has to deal
with her allergy. So I’ll either add to what I’ve written already or I’ll write
a different book to interface between book one and book three.
I’m good at finding
distractions to take me away from writing, and primary among them is shopping.
I’m afraid I’m becoming a shopaholic; I spend too much time searching for
exactly the right item (almost right isn’t for me), especially since Amazon
makes so many choices available. I’m planning to disconnect from Wi-Fi for a week
every month in the hope that I become more productive.
Ice Skating
In December I discovered an
ice skating rink in Irmo, SC, not far from my house. I hope I can do this
without breaking any bones.
Church
Been listening to C.S.
Lewis’ book “Mere Christianity.” It has inspired me to be more methodical about
supporting my beliefs.
I don't have this scene outside my window, but if you do, stay warm!
