Bring on 2011!
As 2010 comes to a close, it's time for me to think back on the past year – the good, the bad and everything in between.
On the personal side of my life, I gained some weight (the bad) and I got a better paying part-time job (the good.)
On the writing side of my life, my first novel was published by Lyrical Press (definitely good!) and my two novellas become homeless the very same month when Blade Publishing took a nose dive and closed their doors (bad, bad, bad.)
But in between success and failure comes the stuff of everyday life. As the saying goes, "it's not the destination, but the journey" that makes us who we are – and who we share the journey with matters a lot!
My husband and kids live with my highs and lows – the many moods of Debora – and I thank them for every minute. But a girl, and most especially a writer girl, needs friends too. And I have to say I am blessed. I have friends that live close, friends that live far and friends that I only know online – but each and every one of them lives in my heart!
To all my Passionate Critters – you ladies rock! Besides the professionalism and the tough love crits I know I'll get when I post my work, your friendship inspires me daily. Ups and downs, from publishing to personal – you girls have my back. I wish each and every one of you the happiest New Year! I wish you contracts and love, good health and laughter.
Let's get ready for 2011 ![]()

I'm excited to share another year with you Deb. You're support means the world to me. …and I love that we've lived in the same town… it's one of those crazy connections.

Happy New Year, guys
It has already arrived in the UK, and instead of champagne, we are sipping cough meds lol.
At least the pneumonia is on the way out, so I'm going to quote D.Ream "Things can only get better"
Onward!

I'm grateful to all the PC ladies for allowing me into their fold, for trusting me with their precious words, for sharing their ups and downs and bolstering me during my own ups and downs. I can't help but burst into a Sister Sledge classic (Deb knows how much I love to sing): "We Are Family, I got all my sisters with me…"
Happy New Year and may 2011 smile on us all!
