Looking Back *wince*
2008
Sometimes, looking back can be a bit depressing. The actual goal accomplishment could be considered lacking. I didn’t finish the ww2. I’m not even going to finish the catagory I started in November for Nano [although, i'm so close...i may just call it a win

].In the midst of another familial transition, aka moving to a cornfield, I can still attest to several satisfying moments.
12 months of not getting pregnant
10 new critique partners and friends at Passionate Critters.
8 weeks to finish a catagory-length romance
6 birthdays
4 seasons survived without gaining anymore weight
2 things I learned about my writing
1 couple, still happily married
I learned confidence this year. It took months of sometimes agonizing review and gads of solicited advice to realize…
I can write.
I learned that I can edit and with a few helpful readers and critiquers, I can succeed.
Writer, mother, friend and lover


Those are pretty nice things to have achieved, Bethanne.

I’ll let you know how it goes…
Great post!
I’m glad you’re with us! Cyn(Quote) (Reply)
