Writing my weekly newsletter I came across this Neil Gaiman quote which I love (I’ve quoted it before I know) – it’s perfect for the turn of the year but perfect for any time in the year too …
‘May your coming year be filled with magic and dreams and good madness. I hope you read some fine books and kiss someone who thinks you’re wonderful, and don’t forget to make some art — write or draw or build or sing or live as only you can. And I hope, somewhere in the next year, you surprise yourself.’
My newsletter is free and features competitions and opportunities for publication as well as thoughts on writing and what I hope are good tips and plenty of encouragement. If you’d like to receive it – its published every Monday – you can use the sign up form here on the blog – scroll down right and you will see it, or alternatively you can e mail me at amjoy@hotmail.co.uk and I will put you on my list.
