As I had mentioned on my fb page, I am not going to buy any clothes or shoes for next year with the exception of my future London/Paris trip. Today I have found myself desperately internet shopping, placing items in my cart and then reluctantly leaving the online store page.
Like an alcoholic or overeater, I am trying to fill some kind of void that is bottomless. My only salvation is my continued writing on my novel, but with all the research, I often find myself becoming impatient wanting to complete my story so I can submit it to several literary agents. The only factor against me is finding the time to write and research. My lovely daughter requires lots and lots of attention, which of course I do not mind considering she is my baby and one day she will not be around. There will be a time when she goes off to college (hopefully in Boston or Paris...but not pushing it) and she will be busy leading her own life and creating her world.
So, as I rang in the New Year last night, my thoughts were that this year is going to be different and I am finally going to complete something in my life (meaning my novel). I love starting new projects, but never to completion. I am my own cheerleader for 2011.
