Happy Christmas
Happy Christmas everyone, and let's hope that 2010 is a great year for MNW. Good luck to everyone who is having a novel published. Good luck to everyone who has been nominated for an award. Good luck to everyone with their Work in Progress. May the coming year bring you everything you wish for.

Many thanks, Len and wishing you the same. See you in February?
I second Len's thoughts -- Merry Christmas and best wishes for the new year.
I always pick a quote to set the stage for the coming year. Here's my favorite for 2010 as I face the fear of the blank screen.
"Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can only see as far as your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way." (E. L. Doctorow)
I hope the headlights burn bright for us all.
Merry Christmas and best wishes for the New Year to everyone.
Thanks for all you support over the past year. Keep fighting the good fight!
Many thanks, Len, and a happy and successful new year to you (and to all MNWers). Talking of which (the success, that is) how's it going without the day job?
Thanks Frances! Actually I'm not sure now how I had time to do the day job. Currently doing the editing for The Herring in the Library (publication Aug 2010). Just back from a week in Egypt, cruising down the Nile and researching the next book (it's a tough job but somebody has to do it etc etc) Approx 10,000 words into the first draft. Also writing some short stories (one recently accepted by the Sunday Express for early next year). At least it's all keeping me busy ... Good luck with your own writing in 2010 (even if you're no longer into crime!)
Looking forward to catching up with everyone's news in February.
Len - I'm beginning to wish I hadn't asked! Where do you find all that discipline (not to mention the energy and the ideas)?
But thanks for your good wishes. I think I'm going to need them...
