I was awake when a multitude of time zones celebrated the beginning of the New Year, just not in this one. This isn’t a departure from the norm for me. I remember occasionally watching Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve (or whatever labels it’s been given throughout the years) and there was a time I used it as another excuse to party. However, for most of my 47 years, I have been deep in sweet slumber as our little slice of the globe rang in the new.
The bad thing about this is…well, I can’t find anything bad about it. I woke up early, feeling refreshed and ready to actually enjoy this first new day of this New Year. This is day one of 2013; a new day, fresh grace, opportunities untold.
The first, unstained, unsullied page of a brand spanking new book and I own the rights. The pen is mine, therefore so is the outcome. How will this tale unfold? What will this story bring? Who are the new characters and how will they develop and interact? Will the primary genre be romance, suspense, action? There is much to be determined. I have free will; I can choose.
I am thankful that I am not alone in this endeavor.
