I’m way too busy and/or lazy to go back and check, but I’m pretty sure I usually write a blog post around this time of year about having a fresh burst of writing energy. The holiday season doesn’t leave much time for writing, despite usually having some days off. This past December in particular was insane for me work-wise; I really think it was the busiest month I’ve ever had at my day job, and I’m coming up on my 10-year anniversary with my company. (Which is also crazy to think about!)
Both the holidays and the work insanity are over with for now, which means I can finally sit down and get some serious writing done. I’ve just arrived at the final chapter of Sonata for Springtime, and since this is a slow-burn romance, we all know what’s going to happen here. (wink wink nudge nudge) I know I need some sort of epilogue at the end to wrap things up, and I haven’t figured out what’s going to go in it yet, but, as I love to say, the end is in sight!
I do like starting a new year this way. Once I’m done with SfS, I’ll probably take a little break and read some and game some, but we all know those breaks never last long. My to-write list never ever ever ever gets any shorter, and as of right this second, the next two projects I have planned will be on the shorter side (I think), so I might as well knock them out. Every time I do build up some writing momentum, I try to enjoy it while it lasts, so we’ll see how far it gets me this year.
Happy 2023!
