Happy New Year!

I forgot to mention, my latest Dot Moms post went up on the 28th.

Today I sat down and organized my goals for 2006. Here they are, for anyone interested:

1. Complete and submit 6 proposals (4 new, 2 revamped).
2. Upon receiving a request from one of the proposals, outline the book loosely and write it in less than six months. :typing:
3. Build my vocabulary by learning at least 13 new words a month that I will use in my manuscript.
4. Exercise twice a week. :rotfl:
5. Read 12 new books. :book:
6. Send in an application to be on “Survivor.” (What? You don’t think I could win? Me, who has never been camping?) :help:

There are others, but those are the basics.

Overall, looking back, I have a great deal to be thankful for. Mills & Boon Historicals gave me a much-needed boost in my confidence. Regardless of the outcome of His Chosen Bride, it’s been a thrill just to work with an editor on revisions. Here’s hoping that January brings a call for me! Thinking positively, I bought a bottle of champagne (yes, the real French stuff) :woot: in the hopes that January or February might bring a special phone call. We’ll see!

In the meantime, here’s wishing you and yours a very Happy New Year! :drunk:
