"It's been a long time old friends," I lovingly say to my trusty keyboard and thumb drive containing the manuscripts I've been meaning to revise for well over a year. "Sorry I've stayed gone so long."
What? Why has it been a year, you ask? Well.... I've been a bit busy. Got laid off in August of 2009, started a business in September of 2009, lost business partners and strategic partners along the way, and took on two more start-ups... OH- and started my MBA. All while being a single mom of three and putting myself on hold for a while. (sigh)
But 2011 I am branding as my balancing year. In the new year, I am putting forth the intention that I will try to grow these three businesses to a level that brings forth a sustainable, yet sufficient income to maintain my lifestyle (AKA- food in the fridge, bills paid, and a little savings tucked away for when it rains) AND refine my own identity, which includes one full day of letting Sheryl Brennan out of the proverbial closet to write her Celtic Romances again.
Will I be successful? With the internet and my readers holding me accountable, I certainly hope so. By January 31st, I hope to deliver the 3rd person POV revisions on Celtic Sacrifice to my publisher whom I hope has not given up on me quite yet; followed closely by the polished Celtic Hope for her editing pleasure.
I'll need lots of cheerleaders to make it happen, but that is what friends are for, right? Can I count you in?
Always can count on me, and want to see you finish your project and me finish mine and us both celebrating with a return trip together to Ireland. We can do it! I'm with ya girly.
ReplyDeleteThanks SanDee! Ahhh--- Ireland. I'm looking forward to that trip with ya. There is a writers retreat in the west of Ireland that I have been longing to go to.
