Haven't written in forever and a day...so much of my available energy has been going into working on my novel (which is still in progress). I'm about a quarter of the way through Draft 3.

You are one AWESOME person!! So happy to know what you've been up to. Glad you kept yourself busy venturing into something totally new and actually loving it. Success!! I envy your courage!

Aw, thanks! I'm finding that if something scares/intimidates me, it's totally worth trying! (I reserve the right to turn down bungee jumping though.)

Glad to hear the book is coming along; you could write about cans of soup you've eaten and I'd still look forward to your journal updates. You have a talent, and your entries are always captivating.

I just wrote about my parents putting the house I grew up in on the market as well. When the thing is finally sold, I'm going to have a really hard time saying goodbye.

So good to hear that you've been on such a marvelous journey! I wish my own "time off" were even a quarter as productive as yours. and i can totally see you being great at improv ... would love to catch one of your performances one of these days.

Now you've inspired me to try harder to focus on these goals of mine ... wish you could tell me some sort of secret to how you do it but I imagine it's mostly a matter of conscientious daily practice and being open to new ideas and opportunities. not easy as i'm discovering that I'm very stubborn and lazy. haha.

Hope the next year is as much of an adventure! and glad that 9-5 drone job is a thing of the past :)
