Y’all, I am SO pleased.  Look at all of my books that I received for Christmas.  Now, I’m absolutely in love with Sean Dietrich’s writing.  While I do not write nearly as well as him, I find some similarity in our writing, as he is known for his short stories.  I also received two other books that I hope will help with my blog and my writing.  I’ve often found the task of a novel absolutely daunting.  People often say to me “Aleta, when are you going to write a book?”  While I am so appreciative of the faith in me, I sometimes feel like groaning.  It’s not nearly as easy as one might think.  I do not sit down and have words flow easily from my mind to my hands most days.  Writing takes discipline and dedication and persistence.  Writing a book…I hope to accomplish it one day, but for now, I’m content with short stories, and compilations of short stories. 
I received a lot of wonderful gifts this Christmas, I am so very blessed.  But these books given, as a nod to support of my writing, mean the absolute world to me.
