Though I wrote the following article several years ago, I want to rerun it for my wish to everyone is the same.--Ursula

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
New Year!
