Good riddance to 2020. I think almost all of us are glad it’s over. I didn’t reach all my goals, but I’m a bit further along in editing A Penny For Your Soul. I didn’t do any writing for the last two weeks of December. I wasn’t being productive. I have a goal of being through final edits by April Fool’s Day.

The good news is that I will be a grandfather in less than a month! My daughter is due February 1st and my mom is looking forward to becoming a great grandmother.

My writing critique group is starting up in a couple of weeks so I have to finish a short story for that. Alas, it is all virtual for now, and I miss New York City. Still, there’s good news on the horizon although the challenges of vaccine distribution are there, there’s also light at the end of the tunnel.
