The greatest thing that has ever happened to me was the moment I got to hold that sweet baby granddaughter! She is the light of our lives. It was just such an emotional time when she was born, that I'm hoping this year to simply enjoy the blessings she brings and get some writing done as well!Monica Knightleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16424870404774900117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7373625667499742139.post-52024405809864225972015-01-04T14:42:59.659-08:002015-01-04T14:42:59.659-08:00Oh Beth, I know that feeling!

So, in between novel edits, I hosted a bridal shower, flew to L.A. to help her pick out a wedding dress, flew back home to Missouri, then back for the wedding, quickly followed by a novel launch. I hope this year is all about the book. :) It was fun but too hectic.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16685726789687443442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7373625667499742139.post-63277287524542609242015-01-02T10:30:27.549-08:002015-01-02T10:30:27.549-08:00Hi Beth,

And I see that time management and organization seem to be universal problems, so at least we know we are not alone. After reading what you did last year, I'm sure you'll be able to attain all of your 2014 goals.

I, too, knocked off a few from last year's resolutions--my debut novel was published and my website was created (with the help of a wonderful, techy friend, much like yours!) I didn't get a fourth picture book published but it is 95% ready to go. I also wrote a couple of short stories. <br /><br />I'm still deciding if I want to set a daily or weekly goal. Weekly seems much more attainable to me. Some days, I just don't get around to writing or want to, for that matter. I want to be more ORGANIZED with writing and my life (closet and office to be specific!)<br /><br />I also plan to write the sequel to THURSDAYS AT COCONUTS and write a novella in 2015. There. That's it. Oh, and exercise four times a week. :) Happy New Year!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16685726789687443442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7373625667499742139.post-8547203225321712912015-01-01T08:45:46.068-08:002015-01-01T08:45:46.068-08:00Write everyday...that alone would be the perfect r...Write everyday...that alone would be the perfect resolution.

Okay, I'll give you the game--it did further develop Jamie's and Dougal's relationship, which is a nice mirror to the overall arc of Claire and Dougal in this episode. <br /><br />But, I still maintain that Claire's clothing choices are an anachronism--the many choices are not in keeping with the time, and certainly not with the book. Having said that though, they are fun to see! <br /><br />I'm glad you stopped by and took the time to comment, marcyh!
