My sister...Thank you, Susanna for your kind words! My sister and I were having a conversation just this afternoon about how I wondered if I was a writer. I believe it's through this wonderful community of writers I find myself part of that continues to make me feel like I CAN reach my goals for the new year. Maybe I will be lucky enough to win a "critique" some time this year for my novel...I can post a few pages at a time in my critique groups and for that I am grateful...until then I will keep fine tuning it...and crossing everything but my eyes...lol...Happy New Year to you too!Think Positive, Be Positivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03981805086599633473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382427031631027145.post-33488067056067926972012-01-01T16:45:13.819-05:002012-01-01T16:45:13.819-05:00Here's to 2012.

That sums it all up :) One of the nice things about this lovely community of writers is how we can all encourage, support and help each other - w all know what it is to be writers! And you, Donna, are most certainly a writer! I bet your YA novel is worth the read. How great that your formerly skeptical friend got the chance to see what you can do! Here's wishing you all kinds of writing success in 2012.

Even at the begining of last year I still had some doubts. This year is gonna be different for sure!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7382427031631027145.post-45714108086213926832012-01-01T11:59:39.161-05:002012-01-01T11:59:39.161-05:00oh fiddle. I had a wonderful comment written, and ...oh fiddle. I had a wonderful comment written, and realized I was in the wrong google account, so clicked "sign out" and lost my comment. That's one of the hazards of writing. (Reminder to self: copy your comment before clicking on something like that.) Let's see if I can recreate my comment. Or create a new comment. Or say something more worth reading than this blether, at least...<br /><br />This is such an important thing for a writer to learn. As Winston Churchill said, "Nevah, nevah, nevah give up." Good advice for writers -- or for anyone, really.<br /><br />Good for you for letting your dream reawaken. You ARE a writer. I am so glad that you were able to make a "believer" out of your formerly nay-saying friend.<br /><br />It's going to be exciting to see what the coming year's writing produces!Beth Stilbornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10599767764125204077noreply@blogger.com
