2016 GOALS, RESOLUTIONS ETC

So...

It's my BIRTHDAY! And a New Year and thus my mind shifts to things that need to be done, should be done and would be nice if were done.

To be done:

Have 2 novels to finish this year. TMCRA which is about 1/3 of it's way through the birthing canal. And Book 2 in the Age of Kali series, which is only a thought and a rough outline yet. 

Should be done:

I have a women's fiction novel coming out in May, and I need to get cracking on cover, blurb, advance reviews, editing, promo, motion sickness...um maybe not that. It's not as if writing and then producing a book for reader posterity is anything like screeching up and down a roller coaster. Or is it?

Would be nice if done:

Start Book 3 of Age of Kali series. Take a screenwriting course. Take a drama class/ archery lesson/ sailing lesson. Spend 2 months alone in Scotland and write.

Those are my goals/plans/ hopes for 2016. What are some of yours, Dear Reader?

MANY MASTERS LOTS OF CONFUSION

April 8th: Truffles Kothari's 4th birthday. Yay! I have to, have to do a post on him. 

Truffles came to us when he was only 10 weeks old. My daughter, husband and I went to get him from Brooklyn (first and only time I've been to Brooklyn, but that's another post altogether.)

We went, we saw a litter of puppies and I wanted the tiniest, prettiest one but my husband said he and my son would not be caught dead walking a pretty and cute dog. He wanted a manly man's dog. Now, a Maltese isn't a manly man's dog but I valiantly did not point it out to my manly man then. So we found a scruffy, unkempt enough, dog to suit him and my son named him Truffles. (after the white chocolate, not the mushroom.) I wanted to name him Henry, the Eighth, but was vetoed unanimously.

4 years later, we do have a manly man's Maltese. Truffles has broken records as being the biggest, sweetest, most lovable and thorough confused Maltese in the world. (They do say a dog reflects his owner. Heehee.)

Watch how we confuse poor Truffles by clicking the sentence below.

Trick or Treat, Truffles?

HAPPY HAPPY 4TH BIRTHDAY MY PRECIOUS POOCHIE. WE LOVE YOU!
