Mumsi to the Embassy

Wow. It's been a while since I posted. I've taken quite a Christmas break and now am trying to get back into the swing of writing. I've had six assignments from GWN over the holidays and am glad that the February issue is behind. Word is that March assignments are on their way later this week, so the hiatus won't be too long.

Today I sent Mumsi Meets a Lion to the Kenyan Embassy in Washington, DC. This idea came from an article in SCBWI's monthly magazine. I've also made some headway on the novel I'm working on but not nearly as much as I'd hoped to over break. At present it is apparent that I do not have the discipline requisite to be a novelist. I'm mulling around several other stories--children's ones--in my head. None seem ready for paper yet.

At some point I need to set some goals for the year here in this space. Of course, I don't look forward to making myself accountable to myself. . . .
