Welcome to 2025! The start of a new year always brings a mix of reflection and anticipation, and this year feels especially significant. January is one of the longest months of the year (as far as how it feels at least in the Northern Hemisphere!), yet so much has already happened. The political landscape in the U.S. has shifted dramatically, wildfires in California have left lasting devastation, and today marks the beginning of the Lunar New Year—the Year of the Wood Snake.

The Year of the Wood Snake and What It Means for Creativity

In the Chinese zodiac, the Wood Snake represents wisdom, transformation, and strategy. It’s a year that encourages patience and quiet progress—fitting themes for my current creative journey. Right now, I have one novel out on submission to agents while I focus on drafting its sequel. Writing is often a solitary process, and this year, I’m leaning into that quiet space, allowing ideas to grow organically without external pressure.

A Season of Quiet Creation

The start of a new year is often about resolutions and big declarations, but for me, 2025 is about creating without distraction. As much as online engagement matters, I find the deepest fulfillment in the writing itself. Whether or not anyone sees the work in progress, the process remains meaningful. If you’re in a season of creation—whether writing, painting, planning, or simply envisioning your next steps—know that the quiet effort counts. Want to know more about what I’m working on?

What’s Next?

With my novel on submission and a sequel in progress, I’m embracing this moment of possibility. Publishing is a long game, and patience is key. In the meantime, I’d love to hear from you—what are you working on as we step into this new year? Drop a comment or send me a note. Let’s make 2025 a year of creativity, transformation, and quiet progress.
