The New Year
Hello, everyone! C. Jane here to say “Happy 2025!”
I apologize for not posting sooner. Life took an interesting turn for me and I'm only now getting my balance back.
Firstly, my laptop, Archimedes, is slowing down and often just won't wake up. He is a whopping seven years old now, but I'm nursing him along. I'm also backing everything up and preparing to work on Google docs from our old school Chromebook or on Igor, the tablet, neither of which is ideal but will work in the short term.
Secondly, I am subbing at our local school district at the elementary school my kids attended. I enjoy the work. I'm a paraprofessional sub, assisting with individual students, and I've already met several creative and clever kids.
Thirdly, Lola and the Donaghue books are still alive! I'm writing a little more diligently now that my hours are constricted. Thank goodness for my FreeWrite Traveller! I'm eager to share some of Lola and the next few Donaghue books. Now that we're on the other side of the holidays, I'll be doing more of both.
And lastly, I've chosen my Word of the Year: Perseverance. It has several meanings for me and I'm already experiencing the need to persevere…the aging Archimedes being one area.
Do you choose a Word of the Year or make a New Year Resolution? Share if you'd like in the comments.
That's all from me for now. More to come!
Happy reading,
C. Jane
