Revision

Happy (almost) New Year! This is a quote I wrote out late this year and it seems appropriate to share it as we are coming to the end of another year.

"It is never too late, in fiction or in life to revise." Nancy Thayer

This is such a wonderful quote and such an important lesson to remember that it is never too late to revise. I think of this often as I work on different projects and epiphanies strike late in the process. As much as revision is sometimes painful and always hard work, it is never to late to do on our work no matter what our work is.

And, as we ring out 2015 in whatever manner we see fit, it is good to remember that it isn’t too late to revise our lives either. It isn’t too late to jettison that flotsam that drags us down and drains us from energy. It isn’t too late to make a difference in someone’s life with our actions and our words. It isn’t too late to be creative and make something wonderful through our hard work and our talent.

I hope you ring out the new year with joy and have a wonderful start to 2016. I’m looking forward to another year in which to learn, grow, and create. I hope you are, too. 🙂
