Harry Harrison’s “May You Always” has become a holiday tradition for me. In the spirit of one of my favorite recordings, I would like to present my wish list to you.
·
May
you get that one hour each day you need to write your work-in-progress.
·
May
you sit in front of the computer and your writer’s block disappear.
·
May
that plot twist that came to you before you went to sleep at night be with you
when you wake up in the morning.
·
May
you find the inspiration to complete the work-in-progress you had been putting
off for years.
·
May
you find a critique partner who offers you constructive criticism that helps
strengthen your work.
·
If
you get a rejection, may you find someone who’ll offer you a shoulder to cry on
as well as give you the push you need to get back out there.
·
May
your dream editor love your manuscript and offer you a contract.
·
May
your edits go smoother than you expected.
·
On
that stressful day, when nothing seemed to go your way, may you get a five-star
review.
·
And,
last but not least, may you experience good health and happiness during the
holiday season and throughout the New Year.
Happy Holidays!
Wonderful list! Thanks Ursula.
