I know it’s cliché to write yet another new year’s post, but there’s
something about that flip from December to January that fills me with hope.
I’ve always thought a brand new calendar has a way of providing perspective
like few other things can. There’s something in the air – a slight hum that
wraps its arm around your shoulders and whispers in your ear: “Here’s a fresh
start.”
What’s interesting, though, is that as a writer, my work constantly
revolves around fresh starts. Both the literal fresh start – beginning a new
book – as well as the fresh starts I write on the page. In a novel, my hero and
heroine can have a fresh start any day of the year, generally evidenced by the
moment I choose to place them together.
Once they have that instant spark of connection, we know as readers
that their lives will never be the same.
It’s with that spirit – the wonder of “anything can happen at anytime” – that I hope you will approach
the new year. Yes, January 1st has come and gone once again, but
make no mistake, there are still interesting times ahead. There be good things
on that path and I wish you a year full of fresh starts no matter the day on
the calendar.
Thanks for joining me today!
XOXO,
Addison
