This month I’m taking a break from creating fiction. There are a lot of reasons, but it all boils down to wanting to rediscover the joy of the stories. I’m hoping that removing the pressure to produce new stories will actually create a mental environment that inspires them. So, for this month and for fiction, I’m only going to write what I want to write, when I want to write it. Come January, I’ll reassess and make some fiction-related goals. For now, all my goals revolve around this blog, creating my website and blog at www.StephanieShackelford.com and enjoying my family this month (my oldest, just home from Iraq will be here for 2 weeks!) After all this talk about goals, I’ll bet you want to know my goals.
