January 2021

Three publishers now have my manuscript in the pile on their desk or in an email folder. Due to the volume of submissions publishers receive, many only respond to projects they are interested in publishing. Evaluation time can typically take three to six months. I wait…

Through my window I watch the snowflakes fall and I know that nature is also in waiting. The squirrels in my back yard playfully and confidently jump from one branch to another, from one tree to the next. “Take a lesson from the squirrels” I tell myself. The present moment is so important. Take one jump at a time. Where will I jump next? It is time to make a new list of publishers and send out another round of proposals.

My wish for you…
May you jump into the new year playfully enjoying the present moment, and confidently knowing that spring will come.
