New Dawn Rising: A Haiku
As this year closes
May we bury the darkness
And move toward the light.

I insiste!! 22025 was such a bleak year. I am glad it’s gone. I certainly will have a better year in 2026. The last on was my worst ever. Not much can surpass it.
This year, I will concentrate on my passion. I started the day writing. An old adage says whatever you do on New Year’s Day you will do all year long. I’m all for that!
I’m hoping the world comes to peace with itself. But, if it doesn’t, I still plan on being happy in my own little world. I feel I deserve it. I will not stop being aware of what’s happening out there. I will simply be aware and live my own life as best I can.
Thus, in putting this year behind, I can move on: new new home, new surroundings. I’m actually a stranger in a strange land, having moved from the high desert of Roswell to the Colorado mountains. It was quite an adventure. Although it seems I can breathe just fine at high altitude now.
I plan on completing many projects this year – some old and some new – those crying to yet live and those anxious to be born. (Guess I still have that poetic edge.)
I will need to work on at least two projects at a time. At least that should keep everything fresh. I will need to reconnect with my characters and see what they have been up to while I’ve been “away”. And I’ll need to meet some new characters as well and get acquainted with them.
Should be fun, slipping in and out of their worlds. I’ll spend less time in mine, but that’s just fine with me.
I’ll probably be revamping all my social media accounts. I’ve noticed I haven’t changed anything, including pictures, for a long time.I may not change the photos though, since I am much more the strange “old” lady and I wouldn’t want to scare anyone.
I will upgrade my sites and rework my advertising program. My characters are demanding a better light to shine under. I owe them at least that.
As always, I welcome your reactions and responses to any of my blogs. I love to hear from my readers. Also, here are links to my Amazon, Twitter and Facebook pages, if you care to share your thoughts with me there or look for any publication announcements, and there will be announcements.

Today is the 1st of January. The year is just beginning. It has much potential, and I intend to make good use of it.
