There’s a New Year Coming! by Terri Weldon

Do you ever look back at the year and wonder where the days, weeks, and months went? I do and typically I feel like I fell short. Maybe I’m too hard on myself or maybe my expectations are too high.

Already I have plans to write three romance novellas and edit at least two full length suspense books. Oh – I’d also like to write a new suspense novel. Now I work full time. Not working isn’t an option. My day job pays the bills. So I need to be practical. Can I really achieve those goals?

If I can meet my goals then more power to me. It would be wonderful to complete so much. If I can’t then I’m setting myself up for failure. In which case I need to take another look at my commitments and decide what I can achieve in my writing. Not fun, but it’s important to be practical. In the long run I’ll be happier and feel more productive. 

What about you? There’s a new year coming, so what are your writing goals for 2017?
The Christmas Bride Wore Boots:
Berryhill Brides Book 1

Pastor Jacob Thompson is in need of a director for the living nativity program and veterinarian Molly Kincaid offers to take on the job. The task involves far more than Molly bargained for, nonetheless she’d do anything to help out the man she secretly loves – even sew costumes or cast eight-year-old Wesley Simpson as an angel.
 
Jacob’s daughter Emma longs to have a mommy of her own, but the widowed pastor has vowed to never remarry, and isn’t ready to open his heart to love again. Molly dreams of filling the void in both their lives, but fears she lacks the necessary qualities to be a pastor’s wife.

As Molly and Jacob work together on the living nativity, their feelings for one another grow. Will Molly realize she is just what Jacob and Emma need in their lives? Can Jacob be released from his grief stricken promise? Could this unlikely duo prove to be a match made in heaven?
