Happy Christmas and Merry New Year!

Picture
Husband and I needed fresh air and to lay off the coffee and pastries for an hour. Just an hour, though. A few days after arriving in Minnesota for the holidays we were already getting wayyyyy too comfortable just sitting around. A stroll around a walking path was just the thing . . . until I saw this fallen tree. STOP!!! BLOG PHOTO TIME!!!
Picture
It was -9 degree Celcius (with windchill).  See how thrilled I am? 
We carried on walking and then . . .

Oh. You didn't want me to walk on it? Oops.

Picture
Not sorry. Not even a little.
Let's just draw a line under that.


One evening, we went to the Guthrie theatre to see
'A Christmas Carol.'

This is my, "I don't want a photo right now," photo. Pre-theatre, full of cold, over-coffee'd and under chocolated. The results are never good.

Another good place to draw a line.

Christmas was lovely. We had a fantastic day with really good food and equally good conversation. There were gifts too, so there's that. And rhubarb slushies!!??!!

And book pimping. I always find opportunities for that!

Picture
this particular pimp was done at Caribou Coffee at the exit of County Road D in Roseville, Minnesota. Hee hee.

So, what about 2017?

Career-wise speaking at the moment, Bella Bryce has the following manuscripts in progress:

Sam's Silence, Walden School book three
The Accidental Orphan
Waldorf Manor book six
The Marriage Treaty, sequel to The Protagonist

Outside of this, I have three mainstream novels slowly gaining ground. They aren't taking priority because as Bella Bryce, I am published with Blushing Books and have series and obligations that need to be finished. I do swap between my mainstream novels and my niche market ones because, well, I'm not in control of which books get written or how long they take. I wake up and the words that are there simply bleed over the corresponding manuscript.

I don't do New Year's resolutions.

I dream big, without limits, and then walk in that direction.

I don't really care how long it takes as long as I get there, and get there doing things the right way - not the easy way.

Bella.......I'm so glad you've decided to continue to write. I enjoy all that you've written though I must say Waldorf Manor is my absolute favorite! I'm not one to make New Years Resolutions either, however, I do have dreams for the new year. I love that you dream big and continue to work on whatever manuscript flows from your wildest imagination each day.

I was never considering not writing! Not writing for a period of time, or taking purposeful breaks to enjoy life in between pumping out manuscripts is a natural part of the process. Sometimes I don't write for days. It can't be forced so I've learned to work around that.

I'm glad you've enjoyed my books. My aim is to put out a top quality product that isn't just a quick read. It takes time and yes, I often have to wait for my imagination to run off and play and come back to me before I can record it's findings :)
