Wow, the New Year has begun with a bang, and I'm hoping that's a good indication of things to come. No, I'm not twenty pounds lighter, and I haven't started a new exercise regime, but I've been busy, busy, finishing three pieces in the last two days AND getting my house de-Christmas-ified, or "undecorating" as ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92.1)
dotificus called it, which tickled me! And I do have plans to de-mess-ify my office, too.
First, I'm honored to be a featured writer on AUTHORLINK for their January 2007 issue, with an interview about my journey as a children's writer. The interview, entitled "Moonshower’s Heart Leads Her Back to Children’s Books," is up at www.authorlink.com, or:
http://www.authorlink.com/articles/i
but it will only be visible for free for a few days, I'm told.
The interesting thing about an interview like that is that it really makes you stop and think about all the turns we take on the road toward publication. I appreciate the good questions that Susan VanHecke asked me! She really made me think.
I am still mulling my resolutions, but I did write a short piece for the January issue of the SMARTWRITERS JOURNAL about goal-setting, and how my paradigm shifted a few years ago regarding HOW to set goals, and what works best for me. The article is available at:

Tonight, my online critique group is having our biannual New Year's cyber-cocktail party, where we will discuss the upcoming year and our goals and dreams. It's a fun time to catch up with each other! I say our "biannual" party, because we have another "goals discussion" each year right before school starts, which seems a good time to renew oneself.
That's it, for today! Still pondering the goals . . .

PS: Edited to add this nifty word count meter that I saw onravelda and others' posts, on which I'll keep tabs of a new YA-WIP I began the first of December and that I'm LOVING! I'm having SUCH a blast with it. Just plain fun to write.

I especially loved hearing about Sweetmama. I was reminded of my great-grandma, who died when I was 16. When I became an adult, even into my thirties, I would sometimes wish she was around so I could ask her something.
Thanks!
