Reflections and All That Stuff

/ reflection, writing

So…

I had a fun New Year’s Weekend. Lots of updates here, at my other journal: http://www.livejournal.com/users/lilrongal/294169.html

Looking Back at 2005:
– I met Lauren laurenbarnholdt and Mandy mandywriter and loads of other writing people.
– I joined SCBWI.
– I started sending query letters.
– I took an online writing course called YA Chicklit 101
– I got to talk to a really great agent.
– I got the chance to work hard on my writing and improve it.
– I read two amazing books: Dreamland by Sarah Dessen and Pop Princess by Rachel Cohn.
– I became a HUGE Sarah Dessen fan.

Looking Forward to in 2006:
– I want to finish writing at least one novel.
– I want to read and read.
– I want to write, and write.
– I want to do what I can to advance my writing career. Okay, okay… make one come into fruition. ;)

And my butt hurts. So ’til next time… :)

HI!

I hope everyone had a safe and responsible but of course FUN time last night! I had a last day of 2005 and first day of 2006. Time for a RECAP!

First, we went and visited the new baby who shares Aidan’s birthday. Aidan was super gentle with her, and it was the sweetest thing. She’s such a beautiful baby and the parents are totally cool.


Tell me that’s not precious??????

Last night, I partied with some friends and brought in the New Year. It was loads of fun.
