Motivational Monday


I LOVE BEING A WRITER.
WHAT I CAN'T STAND IS THE PAPERWORK.
(Peter De Vries)

I wish you all a holiday season and a new year full of the best kind of writerly paperwork

* First drafts that hold pieces of magic 

* Revised work that shines 

* Published pieces with your byline in bold

* Letters and emails from fans

* Advance, royalty, and/or pay checks 

* Oh, and lots of wrapping paper - shiny and new for all the books you're giving, and excitedly torn off and wadded up from all the ones you receive!

Merry Christmas, everyone!

  2. Alex - I know I used a lot of wrapping paper on books for others. I even found a way to wrap up notes regarding ebooks I purchased. :)

    Merry Christmas to you, too!
