Putting this ambitious list down in writing gives me the jitters): 1. Simplify my life, so that I have time to write. This includes gaining control of how much time I spend online and also, my social activities. 2. Continue to blog about, speak to groups about, and "market" my story collection about the late 1960s, entitled The Berkeley Girl: Rendezvous in London, a Novella and Other Stories of the 60s. 3. Write at least five linked stories based on my genealogy studies over the past four years, for which I wrote a non-fiction book for my mother's relations. 4. Continue and complete my genealogy studies in preparation for another non-fiction book for my father's relations. My Resolutions for 2018 (Gulp!

Ever. Coming up, I have a book launch, and I resolve to stay positive and enjoy every minute of it and not stress about how many people show up and buy my book (I also resolve to pursue lots of ways to promote the event, which will be for Moonlight Hunting, Book Two of the Cardonian Chronicles, my young adult fantasy series; Thursday, August 25 7-8:30 at the Laurel Book Store in Oakland). I resolve to be a voice for other indie authors by giving honest reviews of their books. I resolve to post 3-4 days a week on my Facebook page, and also in the FB group my cousin created for me. I resolve to begin working on Book Three of the Cardonian Chronicles within the next week. I resolve to keep reading and learning from other authors. First, I resolve not to give up on my writing.

I envision connecting with a vast audience for my writing--both fiction and nonfiction. I imagine harvesting all of the positivity that's been sowed related to serious writing and reading. I see and feel that positivity being recycled in our growing Motivational Writing Circle.
