I haven't collaborated but can imagine how difficult it could be but how wonderful if things click with those working together.

It's great to hear what you've been doing too. I love the personal update posts.

Nice blog, Megan. You're keeping busy. Collaboration can be like the girl with the curl. When the partners work well together, it can be great. Otherwise... horrid.

Dear Sleepless
I think you're onto something. Books are little worlds of their own. It's surprising they don't just move out entirely.
Happy New Year to you, Lee Rae! Delighted to see your comment. I've never watched Wallace and Grommit. Something tells me I should!
Megan

Whenever I collaborate, the other person betrays me to the art police.

Happy New Year Megan! Outstanding video, reminds me I need to re-watch my 'Wallace and Grommit' dvds.

Here's to a great year!

Beautiful video.
I swear my own books change shelves while I sleep and then go back to their original places.

I loved this post. This is my first time stopping in and I already feel inspired!

I'm going to work on my stress level, not be so anxious to quickly move through the world of writing, and take in the enjoyments of life. I suppose a simpliar way would have been to say... patience. That's what I hope for.

I relolve to read more blogs. Here are the rest of our resolutions. http://thepenandinkblog.blogspot.com/2012/01/pen-and-ink-official-new-years.html

I resolved to upgrade my 5 year old Cingular cell phone.

And I did! Woo Hoo! In no way does this help my writing, but now I can look cooler when I whip out my phone.

Sincerely,

I LOVE that Steve Jobs quote - so appropriate for the beginning of the year.

Happy New Year to you!

I stopped making resolutions. They just taunt me the rest of the year. I do have weekly goals that I try to keep up with and can change as needed. This year I am focusing on action—what can I DO right now, in this moment. I'll let you know how that works out . . .

Great quote! I decided last year to go with "targets" rather than resolutions, and it's working better for me. Just reposted my thoughts on that. Hope my ideas help others, too. Happy New Year!

I "lost" you there for awhile because I have your original URL saved as a Favorite. I thought you had given up blogging. (gasp!) So imagine my surprise and happiness when you re-appeared.

Thanks for your comments, everyone. Caroline, how fun to share a new book with your sons. Just keep writing, Lupe. I so agree Liz - the pleasure of reading endures long after the last page. Tricia - thanks for sharing some other book list selections - which round out the ones I compiled for my readers.

Long after the tinsel and tree fade and are forgotten, shared time spent with a child and a favorite Christmas book will create a memory that will last.Share a bond and a book with someone this Christmas.Some of my favorites can be found on my site.

Thanks for commenting everyone. I was really inspired by Joanna's guest post and her commitment to writing. You're right, Laurie. You have to start somewhere! Thanks so much Joanna!

I'm sorry about the delay in drawing a winner for a signed copy of The Daughters Join the Party, but I've had some delays in sorting out my blog domain.
I'm happy to announce, the winner is E.R. King.
Congratulations, Emily! I'll send the book to you as soon as I get your address.

Great advice—I have to keep reminding myself that if I just start ANYWHERE, I'll end up somewhere.

Two books a year—that is amazing and inspiring!

Nice meeting Joanna at the kidlit party, too!

I love the reference to cleaning the closet and mopping the floor --such a circle, when I'm writing I feel guilty that I'm not mopping, and when I'm mopping (as if) I feel guilty that I'm not writing.
Thanks for the post with some great ideas of how to get going on the guilt fodder that I enjoy the most.

Exactly what I needed to hear - thank you! Love your blog - I'm a new follower - also related to your love of NYC - just got back to LA after 10 days there - miss it already!

Lovely post! Inspirational and practical. Joanna also quoted two of my favorites - Bird by Bird and The Artist's Way.
