Happy New Year!

We're ready for 2012, are you?

Grumps helped me sweep the shed earlier yesterday (if you can call trying to kill the broom helping) and now I'm ready to get writing. I've had a few weeks without my writing because I thought it would be nice to make the most of having my son, daughter and various family members in the island for Christmas. However, I'm now itching to get going again. It doesn't suit me not to write for too long and I can't wait to get started with a new book and polishing others.

So, I'd like to wish you a very healthy (most importantly) 2012 and may this year be filled with lots of writerly success for us all.

I'm looking forward to the paperback copy of, Tears and Laughter and Happy Ever After, coming out in the near future (more info about that as soon as I have it); reading new books for Novelicious, for Women's Fiction Thursday, and writing/editing and keeping in touch with you all over the next twelve months.

Happy 2012!

Happy new year to you too Debs , I just live your shed and your dog. If I were ever to have another dog that's the breed I would have.

All the best to you and yours in 2012 Debs. Holidays are fine but it's very nice to get back to the routines afterwards--especially in a clean shed!

Phillipa said...

Happy New Year, Debs - and 2011 was the year I finally got to meet you at last - not for long enough! Hope we can meet again for longer this year.

I got a bit nutty if I haven't written for awhile, either. Hope you get lots accomplished this year!

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year Debs :-)

I'll be getting back to writing tomorrow but not in a lovely shed like yours (jealous). The sofa will have to do for me.

Deborah Carr (Debs) said...

Diane - thank you. You too.

He hates the vacuum, mop and broom and tries to kill them every time I use them! Such a pest. As if cleaning isn't bad enough without dragging a schnauzer along with you.

Mama j - I'll bet the sofa is in a warmer room though!

Sue Guiney said...

Looking forward to the paperback of Tears, Laughter and Happy Ever After!

Happy 2012 to you too. Love the photo of your shed and Divadog. I am looking forward to starting the outreach work linked to my post as Writer in Residence and finishing a series of novellas that I am writing. May 2012 bring us all many productive and enjoyable writing sessions.
