Jennifer J. Stewart's brain at work...

Right now Jennifer is playing with words, waiting to hear from a publisher, writing another novel, preparing a speech, and wondering if dark chocolate's on the menu for lunch. Luckily, it usually is...

New Year's Resolutions

• Write every weekday.
• Get better at poi. No, it's not food.
• Prioritize life: family, writing, exercise, Make Way for Books (an extremely worthwhile early literacy non-profit organization Jennifer volunteers her time and money to). Forget about housekeeping. It will go away. If the dog licks the floor, that is the same as mopping.
• Say no more often. Say it frequently. NoNoNoNoNo!
• Always bring a manuscript to critique group. No excuses.
• Keep her cell phone charged.
• Stop losing things, especially mind.

Jennifer is happy to report that she keeps most of her resolutions, especially since she doesn't play computer games anymore.
