Hey there,

Here we are together on the last day of 2016. This year has had it ups and downs for everyone I am sure. I got some more writing done, and I have set my sights on upping the ante in 2017 if possible. I have to finish my nonfiction book about Haunted Charlottesville, and I am working on another short story for the next anthology. I want to make time to also work on my two novels this year. That may be easier said than done, but I am going to try. I am building my confidence in story telling, and I think I can do it, I just need to sit down and proceed. More on that as time goes on.

I hope everyone has a safe and warm New Year. It is 42 degrees here in Virginia. I am a 65 and below girl so I am quite happy it is not 80 and above. I hate being hot. As time goes on, that may change, but right now, it is good.

I also went back to work full-time in the OR, it is quite cold there so it works to my advantage. In addition, I also have lots of interesting things to add to my stories,,,,,,new technology, new drugs, and new procedures. It should be quite fun.

I would suggest making some good resolutions this year and meeting them in the first couple of week of the year. If you are like me, you get lackadaisical, and forget all about them. Mine are to do more writing and promotion, how about you?

Take good care, and see you next year on the first Saturday of 2017.
