Looking Back *wince*

Posted by Bethanne Strasser on Dec 31, 2008 in Life |
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 Razz].
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.

I think you’ve done great, Bethanne! Waaaaay better than me. Though–yes, even I have achieved another 12 months without getting pregnant. (I’m convinced that my fertility rate increases exponentially whenever I join the board of a writers’ group, so I volunteered for nothing in 2008, and will continue not to volunteer in 2009. I’ll let you know how it goes…)

Great post! Smile I’m glad you’re with us!
