</div><br></div>I do enjoy watching movies about authors, journalists, and writers.<div>I find myself drawn to them just as much as I am drawn to movies that revolve around baking or bakeries. </div><div><br></div><div>I have a few favorites...

</div><br /></div>I truly do not know the answer to the question proposed in the title of this post. I hope I haven't bursted your bubble. <div><br /></div><div>I'm sure a quick Google search or survey on social media would yield results, but my purpose is to brag about how wonderful the season is and the question opens up the door for me to talk about it. (That was a bit sneaky on my part.)</div><div><br /></div><div>Autumn makes this author happy. I love the weather, changing leaves, wardrobe, pumpkins and everything the season has to share.</div><div><br /></div><div>I enjoy firing up the oven and baking delicious treats and slipping into a pair of fuzzy socks while sipping on hot drinks. </div><div><br /></div><div>Curling up on the coach with a blanket and good book are high on my list of things that I enjoy as well.</div><div><br /></div><div>But, as an author, nothing beats sitting in bed with my laptop, notebook and pink pen, reading glasses, and a cup of piping hot herbal tea! </div><div>You guessed it, this is my favorite writing spot. </div><div><br /></div><div>Over the last year, I have landed a column for Writer's Digest and Pastry Arts magazines. I've been revamping and writing again for all of my blogs. </div><div>You may be wondering...Deanna, how many blogs do you have?</div><div><br /></div><div>Three. Deanna has three, because she's crazy and keeps adding to her overflowing plate. </div><div><br /></div><div>The bottom line is, I love to write!

It keeps us up to date on current plot trends</p><p>3. Reading will help keep us inspired</p><p>4. The more we read, the more we can learn about the craft of writing</p><p> </p><p>For me personally, reading takes me away to a far-off place. It allows me to escape my current reality, even if it's for 15 or 20 minutes. That reason in itself keeps me turning the pages.</p><p>Sometimes we all need to escape for a while...do you agree? </p><p><a href="https://bookwriterdeanna.blogspot.com/2021/02/do-you-write-when-youre-not-in-mood.html" target="_blank">Do you write when you're not in the mood?</a></p><p><a href="https://bookwriterdeanna.blogspot.com/2021/01/family-history-and-traditions-with.html" target="_blank">Family history and traditions with Author Deanna Martinez-Bey </a><br /></p><p> </p><p> <br /></p><p><br /></p>D Martinezhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12483920959801146014noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2580381520737740225.post-15242919543985247612021-12-31T06:24:00.000-08:002021-12-31T06:24:31.320-08:00Goals vs. Resolutions 2022 edition<div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div><br></div><div>At the beginning of each year, I share a resolution vs. goal post.</div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br></span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"> Let's resolve to leave 2021 where it belongs...in the past, and create for ourselves a joyful, prosperous, healthy 2022!</span></div><div><span style="letter-spacing: 0.2px;"><br></span></div><div>Resolution: A promise we make to ourselves and declare to others that we will make a positive change for the new year.</div><div><br></div><div>Goals: A plan we put into place to move towards a better life.</div><div><br></div><div>Do you see the difference? A resolution is a promise, but a goal is a plan. Let’s set goals for ourselves this year. Make a plan, buy a planner, write a list of steps to get you to where you want to be: financially, physically, emotionally, relationally. Set reasonable goals. Take baby steps towards your new future, your new life.</div><div>Let’s turn our dreams into reality for 2022! </div><div>Meditate on your goals and the changes you want to make, see and feel yourself living the life you desire. Talk about your dreams and goals with people who will build you up and encourage you. Make your plan and work towards it each day, little by little, taking baby steps. Don't give up!</div><div><br></div><div>Let's make the changes within ourselves to become the people we want to be this year. It can be done, and WE are the only ones who can make it happen; join a gym, write a book, start a business, change the things we don't like about ourselves/our lives. Let's make this our year! </div><div><br></div><div>2021 taught me so many beautiful things. I have learned how to create my future by what I say and feel. The law of attraction is real, my friends. It's time we allowed it to work to our benefit. </div><div><br></div><div>If you have access to Netflix, I HIGHLY recommend you watch, The Secret. It has helped me change my life, and I am confident it can do the same for you!</div><div><br></div><div>If you enjoy reading, I suggest a book by David Goggins, entitled: <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Hurt-Me-Master-Your/dp/1544512279/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?crid=LDKC8ING5B38&keywords=david+goggins+book+cant+hurt+me&qid=1640956152&sprefix=david+goggins%252Caps%252C174&sr=8-1">Can't Hurt Me</a>.
