Gotta keep believing and wanting it.<br /><br />Jamie - Nothing short of a miracle indeed. Hats off to a great 2014!<br /><br />Jenn - Haha, let's not be too hasty about that MBA. :) But yes, I do actually tend to get more done when I'm busier. And in an odd way, it helped with the voice and pacing of my latest WIP.<br /><br />Mark - I have posted about the goat track adventure! It's part of last year's A to Z. Thanks for your words of encouragement.<br /><br />Christine - You too!<br /><br />Karen - I know. It is a constant struggle but well worth it.<br /><br />Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10680066584646789184noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829473038212118995.post-25898267114413733512014-01-12T17:41:29.787-06:002014-01-12T17:41:29.787-06:00I think I remember reading that post, but don'...I think I remember reading that post, but don't know who wrote it.

You truly are a Wonder Woman! <br /><br />I actually think it's all based more on personality. As for me, the more free time I have, the less I get done, which explains my pre-published status. Maybe I should go back to school and get an MBA :/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04419944234795666194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829473038212118995.post-57570053256642634312014-01-09T14:57:23.492-06:002014-01-09T14:57:23.492-06:00Wow' you're kicking some serious butt!

It happens all the time. The pacing might be a little different than someone without some of those responsibilities, but the outcome can still be the same.

And there are times if you're raising a family that the writing goes even slower. But that's okay because your kids are important too. I just accept that my whole writing career is going slower because of this but I still hang onto it and know that there will be more time in the future. I'm sure you'll be able to as well with all you handled last year.Natalie Aguirrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756087804171246660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4829473038212118995.post-60065413726834910782014-01-08T02:29:05.596-06:002014-01-08T02:29:05.596-06:00Wow, well done for coping with all of that last ye...Wow, well done for coping with all of that last year. It's amazing what we can manage when we actually put our minds to it, and if it's something we really want we'll go that extra mile to achieve it, no matter what else life is throwing at us.Heather Muskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06401981352369837021noreply@blogger.com
