HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2020 VISION!!!

I remember we have talked about this other years but it's a new year so let's go again!

ONE WORD!

Or not!!???

A writer's group I'm on has been talking about their ONE WORD for the last few days.

And I've been mulling over what I want to use as my one word and that leads me to ask if ONE WORD is a legit way to face the new year.

I mean...
INTENSITY 

PEAC

RISK

What are those really except cool words.

What if we did three words.
TAKE A CHANCE

FINISH THE BOOK

CLIP MY TOENAILS (okay don't pick that!)

Or how about five words.

All You Can Eat Bacon

Stop eating like an idiot

Where are my car keys?

Or how about TEN words....or no, just forget it.

It all gets complicated and I intend to forget what I picked. So today instead I'm going to pick the word that WILL define my 2020 Vision.

It's gonna be FOCUS

I have just signed a new contract with Bethany House for a three book series. The current series has book #1 already out, that's Aiming for Love.

Book #2 comes in March, that's Woman of Sunlight.

And book #3 is next October, title is Her Secret Song--no cover yet.

And then we get to this NEW CONTRACT. The next year I'm going to have THREE books releasing in one year.

 I asked Bethany House if I could do that because as things stand now, I have just enough spare time to get myself in trouble.

Spare time involves too much thinking. I need to avoid thinking at all costs.

So the next year, well, I'm not sure of the release dates, but THREE full length novels in one year and, because I can do it, but there is little downtime, my word it

FOCUS
And not because I intend to focus but because … trust me … I have no choice but to focus.

And if this works and they want to do it again....I NEED TO THINK OF ANOTHER IDEA FOR THREE MORE BOOKS.

(fortunately, I know what I'd like to write next and debated which series idea to pitch!)

Still, Mary The Dork needs to focus. And I will because I HAVE NO CHOICE!!!

So maybe look to the new year. Use your 2020 Vision and tell me what you will do this year. What you have no CHOICE but to do this year.

HAPPY NEW YEAR SEEKERVILLAGERS!
