It's My Anniversary!

I started this little blog of mine exactly one year ago (well, technically, it was Sept 12th). It's surprising, how satisfying it's been, to write about writing - the ups and downs, joys and frustrations. And, even more, to hear from other writers across the country who are in the same boat. I had no idea if I'd enjoy the blogging process (I do!) or whether I'd even find enough things to say (I did!). Thanks to Becky, for giving me the inspiration in the first place.

Looking back on this year, I didn't do anything amazing like snag an agent or get published, but I did "put myself out there" more than ever before - and from that, I've received unexpected valuable feedback/advice/interest from some agents, which is promising. And, more importantly, I've continued to write. To make progress. To keep chipping away. In fact, I've been more productive in the past year than I have any other writing year, and I'm proud of that. And, I feel like I'm close - that maybe, just maybe, this next year could be "the year" of getting agent representation. It's probably just wishful thinking (realistic thinking!), and if it doesn't happen, it's fine. I'll just keep on writing, anyway...

So, today, I'm issuing a heartfelt "thanks!" to the readers - to anyone who's even read a single entry, and especially to those who keep coming back for more. It's much appreciated! At least I know I'm not out here alone in cyberspace, talking to myself, lol.

Today, I wish my blog a Happy 1 Year Anniversary!

Here's to another year!
