I've never felt a sense of loss upon completion, only a sense of accomplishment. I'm goal oriented. Each book is like a mini goal set and reached. Then I set the next goal. Like Seleste, this year I sold my very first book. What a thrill! My New Year's resolution is to continue that momentum.

Oh, well.<br /><br />I always have something going on so endings are mostly a sense of satisfaction for me. However, when we finished up with copyedits for The Sevenfold Spell (my first sale as well), I did have that sense of loss because I knew that I would never write about Talia again. Her story was finished.

Now I've said it out loud.)<br /><br />I'd also like to stop procrastinating, but I'll get to that one as soon as I can. ;)Jane Kindredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14620651445338259619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858828969874855814.post-45206661411348009082010-12-31T18:37:17.111-05:002010-12-31T18:37:17.111-05:00@Eleri re the Samhain open call (http://www.samhai...@Eleri re the Samhain open call (http://www.samhainpublishing.com/submissions) I'm eying the calendar and will probably end up typing with fingers crossed to make the March 1 deadline.

I hope your 2011 plans succeed just as well :)<br /><br />As for my 2011 resolutions? I try not to make them. One year I resolved to go horse riding and that ended well -- not. I tumbled off the horse at the end, straight onto...well...you can guess what lurks in horse paddocks. So no resolutions for me. But general dreams/plans -- I want to finish my urban fantasy novella (which is sooo close this is achievable), write a post-apoc novella and maybe, just maybe a category contemporary.Jenny Schwartzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00320451924849353120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5858828969874855814.post-78493432215402130892010-12-31T07:52:44.819-05:002010-12-31T07:52:44.819-05:00This year I will write cards, notes and letters by...This year I will write cards, notes and letters by hand--at least four per week.Keri Stevenshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13958093932654844690noreply@blogger.com
