This year I wrote 372,542 words.
Not all of them have been published yet, but don’t worry they’re
coming.
In 2019 I published 4 books and 1 novella. 2 under my clean YA
fantasy pen name Eliza Chambers, and two cowboy romances along with 1 western
historical novella.

I didn’t have a plan for 2019, other than to write. Life as a
mom with almost three teens is unpredictable and at times downright hard. Life
and parenting has its seasons, and I’m right there with the other parents as
every child is different and every mom’s parenting experience isn’t the same.
This is why I’m looking forward to 2020 and while I have goals,
they’re not about numbers. They’re about you.
In 2020, I pray for your year to be filled with hope. I want you
to feel inspired and have strength for the days that get hard. I want you to
know you’re not alone through the various trails in the various stages you are
currently in or entering.
Someone once told me we are better together. The right people in
our lives are worth the value of the greatest treasure.
A few weeks ago I wrote a different list consisting of numbers.
A former accountant, I like numbers. For 2020 I wanted to write 500,000 words.
I wanted to write 12-15 books, and so on. But really, when I thought about it,
you can’t rush putting heart and hope into a story. So my goal for 2020 is to
write more stories to give hope, that you’re never alone in life, and no
challenge is never too big for God’s grace.
Through the chaos of
middle-grade chaos and high schoolers determining their paths, 2020 is going to
be an adventure. If you want to join it with me, be sure to subscribe to my newsletter.
Let’s do this together.
