Some thoughts on the year just passing…
…for the first time in three years I did not launch a book…
…my first little non-fiction GET ORGANIZED is now in six
languages and at least as many countries and still sells at an amazing rate…
…my second novel – my middle child, FORGIVEN – has gone out
of print…
…but her sisters are selling well, with FAITHFUL in its
third, maybe fourth, printing…
…I’ve parted company with my wonderful agent of eight years,
amicably, but with great sadness…
…I have steadfast fans who write me beautiful notes, and I
treasure them and their words…
…I have a critique circle of people gifted with keen insight
and brutal honesty…
…I’m lucky to have the freedom to write every day in a place
of perilous beauty…
…I’m writing projects that bring me such joy that there are
days when it’s hard to stop working.
The writing life is refuge and terror, both. It is euphoria
and heartbreak. I would not trade it for anything, though some years may be
more euphoric, or more heartbreaking, than others.
I wish for you a rich and rewarding 2014 with as much
euphoria as you can stand.
