This year I felt guilty because I didn't write a lot, but then I realized that I lived a lot, which is also very important. So my intention for the next year is to write, to improve my writing and to be kind to myself. Best wishes to you!Kathy McIntoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06899118869240481737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564808806012504614.post-24160042670160229712017-12-27T11:12:04.638-08:002017-12-27T11:12:04.638-08:00This is a good time to cut down on clutter, Sharon...This is a good time to cut down on clutter, Sharon.Jacqueline Seewaldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09177500620940251009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6564808806012504614.post-850002550121325282017-12-27T11:10:29.061-08:002017-12-27T11:10:29.061-08:00I agree, Kathleen.

After a while, it's like trying to teach a pig to sing. <br /><br />My list is similar to yours. Family, health, and of course, writing is paramount, and like every craft--it continues to improve with practice. Fingers crossed, this is the year I attend my first conference. This Jersey Girl is currently living in SW Florida and Bouchercon is in St. Pete this year.

Clutter is the bane of my existence right now, accumulated, unnecessary junk in our household, my office, and intellectually. Too many books to read, too many to write, never enough time or, sometimes, energy. With. your influence, I began today. Cannot wait another week until the new year.

And continue to promote my new book, Vineyard Prey. And read The Burning.
