Today is the day I start my book!

My New Years Resolution is to write a book. Not just start to write a book, or write a few chapters. It has to actually have a beginning, middle and an end. It also must be good enough that I would want to read it.

Today is my first step. I have never written a book before, but neither had Stephenie Meyer before she wrote "Twilight". She wrote with two little kids at home. I have four kids, but they are not that little. So I may have a bit more free time.

I am going to try and write everyday and use this blog to update my progress. I would welcome and appreciate your encouragement, snide remarks, rude comments, well wishes, suggestions, funny quips...whatever helps my motivation.

Today I have purchased a novel writing software program for my computer, because well, I am a newbie, so I need guidance and focus. I don't have a degree and I have no clue as to what I am doing. But I do have one very important thing...an endless imagination that needs some kind of outlet...so that my head is a little less cluttered.

My other New Years Resolutions is to create a line of stationary, planners, calendars, recipe cards, and planning and organization worksheets for those with ADHD. So, we will see how that works out too. I downloaded INDESIGN by Adobe because I heard that might be what I need to try and create my own templates from scratch, but after I opened it up, I realized I have no clue as to what that is all about, so I am going to need to look up some tutorials for that.

Signing off for the morning, mom duties have to come first!

Happiness,
