Okay, January 7th 2008 already. What have I done, achieved.Zilch, baby. Nada. Oh, well, i tell myself that’s okay, i’m still in holiday mode, but then how long does that particular mode go on…all year long? But then my friend Melody Knight, who also writes as ND Hansen-Hill has done brilliantly. In the 1st five days of this year, the lady was offered 3 – yes 3!!! book contracts. Hows that? Brilliant I say. She’s a writing machine. All power to her. And so…as six a.m. filtered through the curtains and hubby hauled his cute butt out of bed ready for a new day at the coalface, I decided it was time this gal got her (cute! yeah right) butt out of said bed and placed it firmly at the computer face. That done, it’s now 7 a.m. and I’ve finished the edits of my current WIP – an historical set in the time of the Huguenots fleeing France – late 1600s – This mind you was editing that should have been done a loooong time ago. But hey, it’s done and i can move on to new things. No – not back to bed.Writing. Creating. I don’t think i’m in the same groove as i was in 2007, but i’m there. Sort of. Trying. And isn’t it the trier that gets there in the end, hopefully winning the race?So, if you’re like me and not quite into the productive business of non-holiday action, then come on, what’s stopping you. Get moving,. Okay, you can do it slowly, but move. Start now!Happy reading everyone. By the way Hiring Cupid was nomianted as Reviewer’s Choice on Love Romances. Was thrilled with that. Makes all the hard work worthwhile.Jane Beckenhamwww.janebeckenham.com

Awww… Jane. I’d rather be at the beach, and now you say I need to get back to work?

I know, i’m mean, but hey someone’s gotta work, and right now sadly, it’s not me. Have had hubby in hospital – minor stroke – and work seems to be a hazy word right now.

That’s a bummer. Hope he is out soon and feeling better. Meanwhile, take care of yourself and the stuff that matters. Everything else can wait.
