I always look forward to the new year. I love laying out my writing strategy, considering new hobbies, and resolutions. I love the process of planning and the first words scribbled in a new blank planner.
But especially this year , I look forward to a reawakening of the world. I hope we have more understanding, less hatred. I hope we have vaccines enough to go around, the end of covid and quarantine. And I really hope we have lots of romance – on the pages and off.
