Nano is finished and Christmas is almost here.

As I look back over 2009, I wonder what exactly I have achieved. Really there is nothing great to speak about. As with most years lately, I feel as if I went to bed on January the 1st, and woke up at the end of the year.

But, thinking back, I did finish my writing course. I was torn. I suppose its just the fact that the close bond between instructor and student is suddenly, overnight, broken. You are suddenly on your own. No one to give the reassurance that you have become so accustomed to. Your writing lifeline has been taken away.

But, as they say, all good things come to an end. And after two courses, I suppose its time to take a break.

So, looking forward to 2010, somehow, I am going to write more, work harder at all aspects of my writing, and put my writing where I really want it to be - second only to my family.

My next interviews will be up soon, so please check back to read them.

So, as I close, I just want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and successful New Year.
