Happy New Year!

[Jude Hardin]

Just think of all the fun we're going to have.

In 2009, I want to finish my YA horror novel, and I want to lose thirty pounds. Very doable goals, I think.

How about you? Any resolutions you'd like to share?

[I. J. Parker]

Happy New Year to you, Jude, and everyone else here. May your resolutions bear fruit.

I woke up very hopeful about this year. In July my best novel is coming out. I also have a short story that should crop up in one of this year's editions of AHMM.

But really, the best part about being a writer is that there is always another story to be told, another novel to be written, and another fan to be made. 2009 will be a good year.

Oh, my gosh! Thanks so much, Toni.

See: it will be a very good year!

Hopefully 2009 will be a prosperous one for us all. My goals are to complete three of my current projects and maybe sell them, or at least be in a position to shop them around. The crime fiction novel is the biggest and I've been at that one for quite some time now, but I believe there is hope for this year. Just need to buckle down!

Wish everyone great health, great times and great storytelling! Joyce

I want to lose six pounds--because I haven't been that skinny in ten years, and it puts me at a "normal" BMI--and I want to get represented by the famous agent who recently read my co-authored WIP and asked for a revision. (She's right, it needs one.)

Good luck to all. And bear in mind January's a resolution's worst enemy!
