Looking Ahead to Next Weekend

 

On Saturday morning, I meet with the All Write Well group for a 2025 planning session. Hopefully, by the end of it, I'll have my writer's year more fully outlined. When will I be drafting my next book? Stay tuned and we will all find out. 
Then in the afternoon, I get to go to an in-person book club at Love's Sweet Arrow to talk about this book. It's the historical romance book of the month. I enjoyed it! One of the best parts for me was that it's about a duchess who is in half-mourning. I know what that is because I went to a talk all about Victorian mourning customs in October at my local library! I listened to the audio version of this book and the narrator was quite good. If you like historical books or if you enjoyed Bridgerton and don't usually read romance, give this a go anyway! 

This is another picture from our recent trip to Georgia. We really lucked out on the view. I wasn't expecting much of one based on our previous cabin rental experience and the pricing of this one. In hindsight, the cabin was a steal of a deal! 

I need to double check and make sure this post is my 70th post for the year. If not, I'm sure I can find enough to say in a another post tomorrow!

Do you have plans for NYE? My plan always involved tasty but not healthy food choices and being in my pajamas before the sun goes down.

According to my blog, I've posted 68 times this year. That doesn't include this post. All I need to do to hit 70 is to blog on Monday or Tuesday. At the moment, I'm halfway through the audiobook The Duchess Takes It All so I think I can accomplish finishing the book and a blog post before the new year is here. 

Each year my goal is to post three times a week and I don't accomplish that goal each year. There is some saying about it being foolish to keep doing the same thing and failing, but I don't care. Once again, my goal for 2025 will be to blog three times a week. As I am sure many of you know, the key to consistent blogging is to work ahead so that if you have to take a break, you've already got posts lined up. Most years I manage to do that for January and by March I've fallen off. 

Are you looking forward to the new year? I am not looking forward to whatever the incoming administration will cook up. I plan to focus on what I can control and the things that make me happy. 

What makes you happy?

For me it's time with family and friends, preferably involving food and live music. Secondly, I enjoy reading a good book and discussing it with a book club or attending free library programs. Thirdly, being out in nature.
