Here it is December 30th and I’m still trying to decide what aspirations I will strive to achieve next year. One aspiration that I have is out of my control. I can’t make a NYC agent or publisher take on my novels. Yes, I could publish them myself but that’s not my dream. Over the last 12 months I have made peace and I can say honestly say that if I never see my novels published I’m okay with that. I’ll always know that I wrote my stories and tried until my end. Maybe tomorrow I’ll have my 2008 Aspirations posted.
I finally finished the next book Three Junes for my book club. It took me longer to read it than I thought it would. I found the book boring and not as engaging as all the review quotes. The back and forth between past and present was difficult to follow and it was jarring and messed with story flow. We’ll discuss Three Junes on January 3rd. Our next title is The Glass Castle. I have about two weeks to read that before our next meeting. I also plan to read The Madonna’s of Leningrad and The Girl’s Guide to Starting Your Own Business. I should have Madonna’s and Girls Guide finished by the end of the week.
I am keeping this blog and shutting down my other two. The others will shut down sometime in January. I still might change the name; I’m just not sure about that yet.
Until next time good reading and writing!
Hi Linda,
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you have found out why you have not felt well. Too bad it took so long. Thank God you found a good doctor who listened!
Be proud of yourself for writing your books...not many people can say they have taken the time to do that. I'm very impressed!
I'll keep an eye open on your new condensed blog.
Happy New Year!!!!
Wow do you read fast! I think it's just a matter of time before your books are published :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Debbie. Now if the meds would hurry up and work :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Laura :) I was getting the pity party over before the New Year. I didn't use to read this quick, but I guess the more you read the quicker or better you get ;)
ReplyDeletegood attitude. i go to bed at night wishing i had a novel inside of me. i don't. i love to read other people's stuff, but sadly i never get a story in my own head. i hope that if i did, i'd write it no matter what i got back from others. you never know.
ReplyDeleteI love to read others stories too. I'm going to try and read a book a week this year :)I'll always write it's a part of me, almost as necessary as breathing.
