So I thought I was going to quit writing for a little while. Too many rejections. Too much hard work with no payoff. Too much frustration about the process.
But yesterday in class, I was teaching my students a technique of getting clients to set goals. The method uses a simple question: "Tell me what you want your life to be like five years from now." I had the students try the question on themselves.
So, naturally, I turned the question on myself. And do you know what?
I still want to become a published author, even though I have been working on that goal for five years and it hasn't happened yet.
I also finally figured out what I'm writing for NaNo.
A romance novel featuring the Secret Society of Santas. Novel #2 in that series. (Novel 1 needs a dev edit, but it's somewhere down the line).
I'm not giving up yet.
