My Hibernatory Nest

Its that time.

December is the best month. Of them all. There is Christmas and New Year and lights and snow and presents and days off and visiting family and more lights and sweaters and gloves.

This month particularly I feel like I'm caccooning myself. It's a bit frustrating and feels like a whole lot of unproductive waiting, but really its building up little by little until hopefully everything will burst forth in bright color. Yay for trite metaphors.

This past month and for the month ahead it is building up.

Writing.
Querying agents.
Applying to graduate school.
Watching Person of Interest and Twilight Zone.
Buying presents.
Playing on Pinterest.
Blogging.
Vlogging.
Working.
More writing, querying, applying, submitting.

It's all build up, and I'm trying to remind myself that's okay. It's December. Huddle up in a sweater and celebrate the cold. The writing and querying and applying and submitting is part of the process.

And it will pay off in the spring.
