| | | The year is winding up. I'm looking back to what I accomplished and didn't accomplish last year.
I'm also looking forward to 2020 with great excitement. Lots in the works!
I'll be sharing more in the New Year.
I've been thinking about focus, legacy, confidence, and putting one foot in front of the other.
I've also been thinking about needing more play, needing more downtime, and wanting new experiences via travel.
What's your focus for now, for the next year, for this past year?
Hit reply if you'd like to share. I'd love to hear from you. |

"The greatest benefit is that this group] enables me to create, nurture and sustain the mindset I need in order to pursue my desire to write stories. The main thing I accomplished this year was to consciously commit to writing in a way I hadn't been able to before. Thanks." -- Mary Van Everbroeck
Commitment is easier with community.
We all struggle with our writing and yet we persevere and we have fun doing it too!
I've struggled with perfectionism and feeling the pain of letting go of projects to focus on The One Thing.
The One Thing being my novel.
And my business taking care of you: other writers.
When we have a focused and committed group of people all pulling in the same direction amazing things can happen, like editing and revising your novel; like learning how to market it; like gaining the confidence to trust in your artist vision.
