Maria Geraci said...

Love it!

Abigail Reynolds said...

I love it, though the four manuscripts in progress might do me in! I'd never get any of them done!

Marilyn Brant said...

LOL, Edie! Thank you -- I could use it! :)

Thanks, Maria!!

Abigail -- ha! You're right... I should have said 4 *Finished* Manuscripts ;-).

Cindy Jones said...

Merry Christmas and Happy Solstice to you! That is an amazing chocolate Santa!!

Robin said...

Best wishes to you, Marilyn!! I hope all your wishes come true in 2011!

Nancy J. Parra said...

Wonderful! I wish the same for you~ Stay warm!!

And a blessed (and warm!) Christmas to you and yours, Marilyn. May 2011 bring new joys and much happiness.

Pamela Cayne said...

Film agents? You said 3 film agents showing interest?!? HOORAY!!!!

Marilyn Brant said...

Cindy, Merry Christmas to you! I wish I could take a bite out of that Santa ;).

Robin, I hope all your wishes come true, too...xo

Thanks, Nancy!! This whole Midwestern winter thing has to change... We all should try for a Caribbean Christmas or something next year -- LOL.

Judy, thank you!!! (I need *warm* right now. ;) And may 2011 bring only joy your way, too.

Pamela, NO!!! HA -- I do love your optimism on my behalf, though ;). These are 12 *wishes* for all writers -- not realities from my life. (I've had a few of them at one point or other and hope, someday, for the avid film interest!) Wishing these all to you in 2011...

Marilyn, that's very very good wishes. I particularly like the 8 new books per minute and 3 film agents showing interesting. Not so keen on 4 manuscripts in progress. I'm working on 2 and they are giving me headache from time to time.

I wish you another eventful and fruitful 2011!

Marilyn Brant said...

Thanks, Enid! I'll definitely wish the 8 bk.sales/min. for you and 2 *finished* manuscripts, then ;). Happy Holidays!

Vesper said...

And the same to you, dear Marilyn, and many more! (My wish for now is to finish my one manuscript in progress... :-) )
I loved your list. Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and all the best to you and your loved ones!
xoxoxo

Marilyn Brant said...

Merry Christmas, Vesper! And I have no doubt that your 'one manuscript in progress' will be finished beautifully and there will be many more ahead... May 2011 be a wonderful year for you! :)

Caryn Caldwell said...

Cute! I wish you the same!

Hope you enjoyed the chocolate Santa. It looks delicious.

Marilyn Brant said...

LOL, Caryn!! If I so much as took a nibble out of that chocolate Santa, I would've been in big trouble. (It was behind glass in the museum section of a chocolate factory. ;) Hope you had a wonderful Christmas!!
