It’s that time of year when I look back and see what I’ve accomplished for the year. But this year I’m not doing that. Why? Because my life changed so much this year, and I’ve headed in all new directions. I went from working way too many hours a week, to part time. I switched over and started a scary new direction with my writing…single title. I started a new direction with my blogging on Dandelion Blog where I post about how to blog and other techie stuff, as well as nurturing your creativity.
I’m not sure what direction I’ll take this blog here at WineontheKeyboard. But stick around and you’ll be the first to know.
I’m making all new goals for 2008, in all areas of my life.
Now for the important thing you’ve been wondering. . . Did I get Clarice?? Well, my boys know how to keep their momma happy!

Do you sometimes spend a lot of time finding JUST the right word when you’re writing? I mean A LOT OF TIME?
I sometimes just let myself get lost in the world of synonyms and phrases. I’ve been known to wake up in the morning with just the word I was looking for the day before. My favorite source for synonyms is the Rodale book The Synonym Finder. There is just something comforting about looking through a book for the right word. I find Word’s thesaurus too limiting. I’ve been known to look through this online thesaurus when I’m in a hurry. Doesn’t give me the same love of the hunt though.
So what’s your just-the-right-word-finder of choice?

No, not taking a vacation to write…though that sounds really, really nice
I mean taking a break from writing. I often take the month of December off from doing much serious writing. The holidays are crazy busy, my kids all come home and I like to just hang out with them.
I’m going to take Thanksgiving week off this year, but still plan on writing until the weekend before Christmas. Then I’ll probably not do any serious writing until after the new year. I always hit the new year off with a running start.
Do you take time off from writing during the holidays?
