A Thousand Days


Celebration time! Yesterday marked the 1,000th day since I started writing a 100 words on my WIP (work in progress) each and every day. People, a 1,000 days is a long time. To give y'all a little glimpse of just how long it actually is, here's a list of things that I've done/have happened in my life in the last 1,000 days: 
* Three of my books were published* Three nieces and one nephew were born* I completed 31 items from my dream list * My brother and I sold our herd of around 40 milk goats and kids * I've had book signings, author blog interviews and been on live TV* Our family built a house and moved (Pictured: old office and new office): 



* One of my siblings got married* I had three birthdays spanning from my late teens to early twenties* I found out that I had Lyme disease and spent about two years getting over it (including multiple visits to Lyme disease specialists in Pennsylvania and Colorado)* I published 617 posts on Noveltea In the last 522 days I've read 202 books (I didn't keep track before that)* My cute little puppy who was only a few weeks old at the time is now almost three:


* I got braces, had them for over two years and then got them taken off* I went to the Grand Ole Opry, explored castles in Europe, ruins in Aruba and lots of museums in-between* I wrote a book with 150,000 words * I did the A to Z blogging challenge three times* I made a whole bunch of new and amazing friends* I hiked up mountains, went caving, kayaking and snorkeling: 

And I traveled a lot. In the last 1,000 days I was gone for 318 nights (give or take a few)... 
I traveled to or through:States:California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia Countries:Aruba, Austria, Belgium, England, France, Germany, Ghana, Indonesia, the Netherlands, and Switzerland Continents:Africa, Asia, Europe, North America Had layovers in:Ivory Coast, AfricaNevada, USAQatar, Asia
So much has happened in my life in the last 1,000 days and to know that I've consistently written every single one of those days is pretty exciting. I'm so thankful for the support of my family and my writing group, Go Teen Writers. I'm also so thankful to be a writer and to know that God can use my imagination to inspire people. 
To celebrate the 1,000th day my family went out for milkshakes yesterday and then today I'm hosting a giveaway over on Go Teen Writers

What are some of your favorite things you've done in the last 1,000 days?
