Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!  I hope 2016 brings you many adventures and smiles!  I am pretty excited about this year. 

In my writers world it is looking very promising.  The Huntsman's Daughter has had a wonderful first month... Not JK Rowling awesome, but for me awesome!  I finished story 10 on New Year's Eve!  It's not done, but it has a beginning, middle, and end.  As of right now, it is at 112,254words.  I am hoping to get Book 3 (The Shadow Dragon) published soon. I know - it was supposed to be published last summer.  Once I get the edited manuscript back it will be my top priority.  I also have 2 other stories which are very close to being finished.  So that would be awesome if I can get those done soon too.  I am looking forward to selling at more craft shows.  This has become my favorite way of selling books.  I really enjoy meeting people and hearing their stories of why they love to read, their hopes of becoming an author, or how happy they are to be speaking with someone who is doing what they love.  It is so cool to see peoples eyes light up when they are talking about their ideas and thoughts that they hold dear to their hearts.  

I think my favorite part of January is the optimism of the coming year.  I know the year will have times that will drag me down, but I don't know them, I don't feel them in my soul.  I just know that, right now, I am excited about what I can accomplish for my health, my family, my friends, people I haven't met yet, the books I can finish, the anticipation of stories I haven't yet created, the places I will go...       

And yes I am so very excited about the movies coming out this year!  So many hero movies!  Woo Hoo!
