February #OneWriteWord - Strength

My word for February is STRENGTH.

First, and most important, I'll need plenty of strength just get through this winter. The light dusting we received at Christmas was pretty and added to the magic of the season. Well, the mountains of snow we now have, are not pretty and the magic has long worn off.

Second, I am channeling strength to have the last two books in my Redford Falls series published. One this month and the last in March. Fingers crossed.

And last, but equally important, I need strength to overcome my fears to move forward with a particular writing project. I was told that I let fear get in my way and it stops me from achieving my goals. So, I'm trying my best to push aside that fear and take that step forward.

January Wrap-Up

The snow and cold dominated most of January. Way below normal temperatures and a polar vortex, and snowstorms three weeks in a row. I spent a lot of time shoveling and plowing snow, and once that was done, I let the dogs have fun running through mountains of snow.

I celebrated a milestone birthday, which came and went. After clearing all that snow, I felt even older than the candles on my cake claimed I am.

I created a couple new art designs. I thought my artistic muse was hibernating for the winter, but I'm glad to have my creativity back.

Secret Recipe was published and now available on Amazon. I 'm so happy with the changes the plot went through. It's a much stronger story, and it has already received rave reviews.

I also edited a screenplay, which like Secret Recipe, is much stronger than its original work. Now I need to find a home for it.

I even managed to begin edits on Legacy Lies Loyalty. Stay tuned for more on that project.

Overall, I think it was a productive January...even if the weather dominated most of it.
