Charlotte, You've described that in-between space so well! You're right; the New Year begins on January 6th.

Just what I needed. And LOL: "It can be rough to pull yourself away from the force field of the holidays." So true. Lucky me that I have a follow-up meeting scheduled with you this week to go over your developmental edits on my novel. Cannot wait! Which is saying something bc I usually do dread getting back into the swing of this first week of the new year.

And from what you've told me, you had a very strong force field of holiday family and fun!

I am so excited to talk to you this week also. Your novel has put horses on my radar big-time and that is saying a lot from me!

I’m completely with you on the 6th being the official day of back-to-work, so to speak! And I love what you say here: your best writing is the writing you do. Thank you!!!

This has been such an odd holiday, calendar-wise, and I'm still not fully convinced it is 2025. But despite all the crazy and grimness in the world, I think it's going to be a good year personally.

I'm excited to revisit it. The book had such an impact on me years ago and it will be fun to go through it in a group!
