Resolutions

I think I always resolve to write more when I enter a new year (hence the attempt at blogging, again), but this year I feel like I have a lot to say. I am on the brink of so many things -- marriage, motherhood, turning 30 (gulp) and finally feeling that what I have experienced up to this point merits some respect and reflection.

I, like my older brother, had a goal of being a published author at 30. But life happened. I would still like to see that dream through, and after many failed attempts at writing The Counting Years, I finally see a new direction that will force me to start from ground zero, scrapping 65-plus pages, two versions and countless edits and re-edits. But I think what will come out will be a more mature voice with a clear story that I feel needs to be told.

Here's to a positive, prosperous and productive 2010.
