new habit

The beginning of a new year and I'm feeling the need to start a new as well.  This year will be the end and the beginning for me.  Thinking about the days ahead are ones that bring sadness and curiousity for me.  I use to keep a journal, not a daily one but one that helped me see my thoughts.  I've decided that I need to begin that task again.  I need to see what I am feeling and thinking.

I have been working on writing children's books.  I have submitted several to different book companies with not luck as of yet.  I joke with myself that the letter from the publisher just has been lost in the mail.  I wonder if my writing is worthy and good enough to be published.  I had a professional illustrator read one of my manuscripts and through tears asked her that question.  I was surprised by how emotional I felt about the manuscript.  Writing is so personal.  I didn't realize how much so. 

I plan to use this blog as a spot to sort out my thoughts and to give purpose to my days.
