one year later...

Last year on November 22, I blogged about the 10 things I try not to take for granted. Guess what, not much has changed...including the fact that I still don't have a maid. Seriously, what is up with that?

So today, for the first time in a long time, I plotted with my writing partner, Maria Geraci (who's book THE BOYFRIEND OF THE MONTH CLUB will hit the shelves December 7...and you should totally pre-order it NOW!) Anyway, this morning I actually worked on a book idea that I've been playing with for a year and a half but haven't written much on thanks to the foggy haze of divorce that was surrounding me.

Which means, I'm adding a couple of new things to my thankful list. Because apparently I took my creative juices for granted...and I never plan to let that happen ever again.

  1. I'm thankful for my imagination
  2. Thank all that's holy (and possibly all that's unholy) for Maria Geraci
  3. Thanks for my 'Nistas who listened to my whiny emails and supported me even though I was acting like I was the only person who had ever been foggy and sad.
  4. And for my agent Deidre and editor Kristin for their patience and understanding while I took the long road back to my creativity. :)

Now, let's all go eat some pie!

  1. Oh my gosh, Melly, you were never EVER a burden. I just want to scoop you up into a big hug so bad right now. For serious.

  2. Yeah, you ain't heavy, you'z ma Nista. And knowing how hard you fight for your successes makes them count even more, and makes me feel even more giddy over them.

    I feel a huge, positive, light-bedazzled 2011 heading your way.
