A New Start by Diane Gaston
This is the time of year our children return to school. In fact, tomorrow is the first day of school in our area.I remember so well the excitement --and fear--of a new start. A new classroom. New classmates. And, for me, often, a new school.
New binders, spiral notebooks, pens, pencils, pink erasers, scissors, crayons...
A week or so ago I was near Staples and thought to myself, "I ought to be buying something new." I think I was responding to the ingrained notion that now is the time for new supplies for a new beginning.
I am starting something new. A new book, just in the initial plotting stages, soon to be a new proposal for Harlequin Mills & Boon, a book I hope to finish by December.
I have a new resolve, typical of me this time of year, to work harder, to use better work habits so I don't fall behind. It feels a little like starting school!
I have other new things to announce:
My new bookcover for Gallant Officer, Forbidden Lady, coming December 2009.
New stuff on my website
A new contest
What new starts are you up to?
Anyone starting school?
