Happy New Year!
While not everyone makes New Year’s Resolutions, here are what Maureen Child, Linda Ford and Teri Wilson are hoping to accomplish in 2017:
Maureen Child: The Dreaded New Year Diet. Every year it’s the same thing, and this year will be no different. With any luck, I’ll stay motivated for longer than two weeks this year!
Linda Ford: Every year I make resolutions. Some are the same ones I make every year—eat less, exercise more. Speak more kindly, be less impatient. And I honestly work to do so. Jan. 2016 I made another resolution. For years I have dreamed of renting a cabin at a nearby lake (one of my favorite places) and inviting family to join me. And I did. Two daughters and 5 granddaughters spent a week there with me. It was so much fun to share the time with them and see the daughters and granddaughters enjoying quality time together. Maybe this year I will resolve to tidy my office daily.
Teri Wilson:
have a few New Year’s Resolutions this year!
-First, I really need to clean my desk. My desk is tiny and vintage. It’s honestly too small to be really functional. I can fit my laptop on it, plus a cup of coffee. That’s it. But my desk belonged to my father when he was young, and my dad passed away when I was 13 so I can’t bring myself to part with it. Stuff tends to pile up on it, though. Things on my desk right now include a pair of ballerina flats that look like kittens, a box of Godiva chocolates, a million books and Colin Firth’s head on a stick. There are actually two of the Colin Firth thingies. (What? That’s normal. Nothing weird here.)
-This isn’t so much just a New Year’s resolution as it is writer’s resolution, but I’d love to write a romance book from every country I’ve ever visited. I love to travel, and I love to write.
-Adopt a French bulldog! I’m following at least 10 French bulldogs on Instagram! (Full disclosure: it’s probably closer to 20.) Watching Frenchie videos is how I unwind when I’m feeling stressed. Spoiler alert: there’s a French bulldog puppy in Drake Diamonds book 2, The Princess Problem.
-Start the Rory Gilmore reading list. For those who don’t know, it’s the list of every book Rory reads and/or talks about reading in all of the seasons of the Gilmore Girls. So far, I’ve barely managed to even read the list, much less all the books on it. But hey, 2017 is a new year. Anything is possible!
