A NEW YEAR OF WRITING POSSIBILITIES

   The thing I love about the New Year is that, as far as writing goes, it presents another year of possibilities. The possibility that the writing we submit will find a home - somewhere. The slate is clean. No rejection letters have begun to pile up. Yes, HOPE--it's what keep us writers going. That, and passion for our craft. So, keep writing, producing, promoting, commiserating fellow writers. And may 2015 bring you success!

   Speaking of beginning a new year, I'd like to mention a few upcoming literary events:

Jan. 27 — Multicultural Children's Book Day. Check out the website for reviews, reading recommendations, and activity ideas for multicultural literature. http://multiculturalchildrensbookday.com/

Feb. 8 - Join me for a Chinese New Year celebration with a reading of Goldy Luck and the Three Pandas and a Chinese New Year craft at the Book Passage in Corte Madera, 51 Tamal Vista Blvd., Corte Madera, CA., 1:00 pm.
