Thank you

I have to apologize for making myself scarce here, but those familiar with me and my family know that December is always a busy month, where I find it hard to stay in touch. Every year, I am determined to write lots of Xmas postcards and emails, to keep up with your LJ posts, to write plenty of drabbles and maybe even mail a few prezzies to good friends.
Alas, every December I only get a few of these things done. I got a few drabbles written this year, so I don't feel entirely guilty, but all the postcards and emails were never written. *sigh*

I am, however, pleased to say, that our Xmas was as peaceful and happy as last year's, with my aunty (who had had surgery only a few weeks before) happy and healthy in our midst. The girls dressed up again and sang for us and played music on flute amd keyboard, and they were ecstatic when the last parcels they unwrapped turned out to contain a Wii with several games. :-)



Now that the stress of creating a perfect Xmas for the family and happy birthday parties for Mr. E and daughter #1 lies behind me, I can feel my muse tiptoeing back. And I finally have time to say thank you to everybody who left comments, sent postcards or even gifts. *hug*

I wish you all a happy, healthy and creative new year!!

How goes the poetry? The girls look like great fun.

The Poetry? Thank you for asking. *hug* Oh, I published a collection of my poems at Book on Demand. :-)
To tell the truth, I am not exactly selling a lot of copies (understatement of the year!), but hey, it's in print. It's a thin booklet with poems in English and German (about two thirds are German). Not many people read poetry these days, and even fewer people read them in two languages. Oh well. If you are widely curious: it's called "Zwischen Stacheldraht und Horizont".

I am currently working on a German SciFi novel. Not making a lot of progress, but I have a pretty good outline, better than usual. We'll see how that pans out.

I am also working on a fanfic. So, I'm still writing.

What are you doing these days? Are you writing? Reading?

Hi, love. I missed this post when you made it, as I was away for New Year. I'm glad you had a happy and peaceful Christmas and hope your schedule will allow you to post now and again in 2009.
