Phew! 2020 is Behind Us!
Phew! 2020 is Behind Us!
Somehow, I managed to put my writing on the back burner…. Again!
No excuses except I let life get in the way. I will say, that some amazing life events have happened. Since I last wrote, I now have 4 grandchildren. I was willing to sacrifice my writing to spend time with these precious little ones. It is a joy to be a Grandma.
January 2021 arrived and I re-committed myself to writing again. It has been a lot of fun so far. Here is what I have accomplished since January 1, 2021
1. I read my book….totaling 20,000 words
2. I updated my mark-ups from reading my book
3. I sent the book to my sister and my husband to read (no feedback yet)
4. I organized all my creative writing. I was impressed at how much I have written
5. I looked into what it would take to illustrate a children’s book I wrote….lots of $$$. This one may sit on the back burner for a bit
6. I organized and read my poetry. I honestly do not remember writing some of these poems and liked most of them.
7. I am actually printing my book of poetry (46 Poems in total). I ordered 2 copies!
8. And lastly I have written over 8000 more words in my book. The book now totals over 30,000 words.
It has been a productive year so far. I intend to keep it going. I have a goal to have 60,000 words by my birthday March 25.
If you are interested, here is a Poem that I wrote in November 2007:
Dream
Deep in Rest
Upon the dawn
Lost in dream
Alive!
Morning light
Shining through
Brushes the cheek
Awake!
Clinging to the dream
Just one more moment
So sweat and peaceful
Gone!
Slipped away
The lovely dream
Another day awaits
Play!
The day is passing
My bed calls
My head upon my pillow
Dream! __________________________________________________
