It’s the end of another year. Typically, around It’s the end of another year. Typically, around this time, I reflect on the previous year and set intentions for the upcoming year. I told myself I should do that today, but I really wasn’t feeling it. Last year, at this time, I was thinking, “The vaccine is coming! Everything’s going to be back to normal in 2021!” . And there were times when it did feel that way, but there was also a lot of up and down. 2021 was definitely a better year for most people I know than 2020 was, but it still wasn’t quite what I was expecting. . But in spite of the weirdness the year brought for the world, there was quite a bit of personal growth for me. Here are a few things I learned. . 1. Sometimes the point of creation is just to create. . Okay, this is something I’ve always said, but I don’t think I really learned it for myself until this year. Whether I was having conversations with artists about the creative process on the Find Creative Expression podcast or painting random paintings or crocheting a rainbow blanket, I was able to fully be present and enjoy creating–not with the expectation of sharing my work with others or receiving validation–just for the act of creation. .

I woke up and Seen told me that Anne Rice passed a I woke up and Seen told me that Anne Rice passed away.😢 . Of course I had books I loved as a kid but I always think of Interview With the Vampire as my first teenage book obsession. I remember checking it out from the library and reading it under my desk in my classes and on the bus. . And then once I read The Vampire Lestat and the rest of the Vampire Chronicles, Lestat became one of my absolute favorite characters. . I used to always love the encouragement she gave to other authors and her social media posts. I even got to meet her at a book signing once. She said she liked my top hat. (Remember when I used to wear a top hat?) . She was definitely an author I admired. My vampire book, Into the Shadows, is in a lot of ways based on the love I had for Lestat. . Rest In Peace, Anne Rice. I’d like to think you’re with your characters now. . #annerice #annericebooks #annericevampires #rip #favoriteauthors
