Thanksgiving 2021 and Gratitude

Thanksgiving happened, and I have a lot to be thankful and grateful for. I bought a condo in a nice area this year, my job has been steady, I have a significant other that I will see soon, and my family is doing well. I am grateful that I had a good, safe upbringing thanks to my parents, and it has allowed me to be able to pursue writing without much obstacle. I am grateful for the learning process, but I do want to say that I would be thankful when I become a professionally published author.

Having a four-day weekend was nice. I have been watching the show, Dexter, and it is a lot of fun along with watching some anime. There is a level of characterization in Dexter that I would like to emulate. Within a few episodes, I already built an emotional connection and equity to many of the characters. With my writing, I am all about the characters and making them memorable. There are many nuances but also a human element to making these characters that one would care about that I hope to convey with my own characters.

There is only one more month for the year 2021. Despite all that is happening in the world, I am personally grateful for many things that happened to me this year. I got back into sending query letters this year and bringing back this blog regularly. I hope that these are just the building blocks to achieving my ultimate goal of becoming an author. I will be thankful when that happens.
