You are so inspiring, thank you for this post <3 Good job on all your successes this year, I see a lot of them. You achieved many of your goals. Next year is always there for achieving the rest.

This is a really inspiring post. Thanks for sharing and for being so honest about your new year's resolutions! It seems rare that people actually go back to see how they succeeded

I did participate in NaNo! Both in the summer and fall, which helped me stay on track. That, and getyourwordsout, an amazing community that really kept me writing regularly. It pushed me to meet my big writing goals, and I'm so happy to have met them.

Thank you, the best to you, too!
