Successes...

12/28/2021

Children's author Julie Hedlund, challenged participants of her 12 Days of Christmas for Writers series to post SUCCESSES (rather than resolutions) on our blogs this year. She believes the way New Year's resolutions are traditionally made come from a place of negativity - what DIDN'T get done or achieved in the previous year.  Instead, she suggests we set goals for the New Year that BUILD on our achievements from the previous one. I decided to participate in this Anti-Resolution Revolution! Here is my list for 2021.

  1. Participating in this challenge
  2. ​participating in #writethewait with Evelyn Broderick​
  3. doing 3 revisions for my publisher
  4. writing many new extremely terrible 0 drafts!
  5. ​completing my LAO nf pb manuscript and the subject approving it
  6. supporting, helping, cheering on my critique partners
  7. 85-90% sticking to my writing schedule of writing M-F 
  8. writing a query letter to be sent 1/2022
  9. having fun/enjoying the writing process with the help of Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert
  10. being grateful for all the support that I receive esp. JLG and CMC coaching 
  11. taking some really good workshops from  SCBWI and other regions and The Writing Barn
  12. working on the craft of writing
  13. getting positive feedback on my manuscripts
  14. knowing what I want to write
  15. Being a writer who has information to share with other writers
