A dream I had early this morning gave me an idea for a short story. Maybe I've been watching too many Perry Mason courtroom dramas because the dream centered on a mystery. Premise: a stranger passes by a phone booth with a dangling receiver and hears someone on the other end shouting a name then screaming. The stranger is drawn into drama unwittingly by picking up the receiver. What they hear next will radically alter their life. That's all I have for now.
Oh and happy 2019! My 2019 started November 2018 ramping down on long standing responsibilities to make 2019 my year to write. I consider it a job with all the joys, challenges and learning opportunities. And daily writing of many different kinds.
The first task is to establish a timeline from concept to publication; in other words goals. I don't do well with goals. I keep pushing them back or move on to something more interesting when the task becomes difficult or boring. Anyone relate?
When I discipline myself to put goals in black and white, then I see plainly whether they are realistic or not. Then it's simple to make adjustments. The word guilt and shame is not in my vocabulary regarding writing. Is it in yours?
Whether 2019 is a relief because 2018 held way too many dramas and challenges or only another year to pass through, be assured that our God has a plan - a good one - for your benefit and His glory.
Do today what brings you and others joy! For me, I write.
Grace abundantly,
Nancy
