Moving backwards in time, but I had to jump in after those inspiring words! My year of confinement has been fruitful writing-wise, but then again, if I'm honest, my novel actually feels more like a collage of disparate scenes than anything even remotely coherent. Oh yes, I'm writing from Canada, and the rules, in terms of COVID, have been pretty astringent here. But hey, for introverts, it might actually make things easier. Okay, so my writing goals are pretty straightforward. By mid-summer, I want to finish the 2nd draft of my novel, hopefully getting all those bits and pieces to hold together somehow. And then getting back to writing short stories and publish at least one by December. Thanks!

Words, witchery, and wisdom—my favorite things! Thank you, Suzy, for your invitation to manifest our best work and best selves in 2021 and beyond. I hope to add my author career to the illustrious list of success stories that you have had a hand in!

As you know, I started a new novel in November and should hit 50K words this week. That’s halfway to finished. My goal is to complete the first draft by March 1st and to self-publish by the end of the year. Full control over my work and profits is how I roll!

I share your tradition of writing affirmations at the change of each year. Mostly, these are written in present-tense to immerse my self in the attainment of the goals. The process has begun for each of these. I’ll share a few with you.

1. I support myself and my family in abundance and comfort through my work as a highly successful novelist.

2. My family home is kept in perpetuity, prosperity, and harmony.

3. My body is vibrant, fit, and I feel glorious everyday.

4. My combined companies will gross 10 million dollars in revenue from courses, services, and the profits from my books by 2022.

I typically write these on slips of paper and put them in a special green glass jar with herbs, oils, and crystals. I love the double whammy of writing my intentions here as well as adding them to my jar. Double the power!

Again, thank you, Suzy. I’m grateful that you are my coach and editor. What you do is life-changing, life-affirming, and woven with the magic of words.

Happy New Year!
