Dear Wordplayers!
As we close out another momentous year, I am happy to wish you a merry Christmas and happy holidays!
For me, this time of the year is always one of reflection and gratitude. It has been quite a year—on all fronts. For me, personally, it was another year of significant changes in my personal life, in which I walked a road of challenges, but also, ultimately, of blessing. It was a different year, a year in which, for the first time in my life, I consciously took a break from fiction writing. It was a year of transition and, I hope, transformation. From what I have heard from all of you through these past twelve months, I hardly think I was alone in this.
As I close out this particular year, I am struck even more than usual by my tremendous gratitude for all of you. In a time of such uncertainty for all of us on so many levels, the significance of the perseverance, love, kindness, generosity, discipline, humor, and goodness that you all show every day, in ways large and small, is not unnoticed.
Thank you for the time you took this year in stopping by this site to browse, to chat, to wave, to discuss.
Thank you for your passion for storytelling, for learning, for growing. You help me grow, you teach me every day, and you share your passion with me as from one torch to another.
I love you all!
Merry Christmas and Happy 2022!
