Blog Stuff, Goals, Writing

I’m back … sort of

Just dropping in from the longest break I’ve ever taken to let you know I haven’t given up blogging. I didn’t plan to leave the same post up for ten days. I just couldn’t find enough quiet moments to sit down and write something new. I’m rushing now to get this written and take a shower before the crowd returns again.

I hope your year is wrapping up well. This year was certainly the worst of times and best of times for me. This time last year, I was struggling with a choice between continuing to seek a traditional publishing career and going the self-publishing route. I chose the latter, of course.

Because I only have one book out there, it’s too soon to tell if I made the right choice. It’s certainly been a learning experience though, and that’s never a bad thing. Now, I’m reevaluating everything concerned with writing, so I can make better progress in 2012.

Right now, 2012 is set to start on a positive note concerning my work, so I’ll claim that as a good sign. I guess I should start working on something for February. Goal setting has never been my strength, but I’m determined to “hit the gym” on that this next year.

Your turn: Let’s end on a positive note. How was 2011 a good year for you?

  1. 2011 has been an amazing year. I still can’t believe I am an author of two published books. Along with it comes the feeling of being overwhelmed and not sure where to turn next. I plan to try to keep my head above water this coming year. I have so much to be thankfull for and don’t ever want to lose sight of that. Iam thankful that I am your (cyber) friend Linda. All the best wishes for 2012!

  2. I’ve been thinking about this question of yours, Linda….In 2011, the baby began growing out of being a baby, and I began to have bits and pieces of time to actually work. I learned at lot, alot!, and I now have two pieces that are on the verge of being completed in 2012 – so this is very exciting for me! I look forward to seeing their completion and beginning a new novel this coming year!
    Looking forward to another year sharing t he process with you!
    Happy New Year
