2012 the year of so many predictions and changes. Although the dramatic end of the world didn’t happen I do think there were some profound changes. For me 2012 was a big leap year. I made a number of changes in my life and I finally made the push to do something with my writing.
It sounds so simple, I did something with my writing. Big deal. Well I can tell you it was a big deal. I have been writing for a very long time. Over the years, I did all the things I needed to, to improve my writing – courses, critique groups, writing and more writing, getting feedback from others – and yet I still felt that it wasn’t good enough. If I put it out there for the public, yikes! What were people going to think? What if they didn’t like it? What was I thinking to even contemplate doing it?
