One year, I wrote down all the things I HAD accomplished at the end of the year. It's much nicer to look at the year that way than what you haven't accomplished. <br /><br />I like that you said that you won't look back in 10 years and say that this was the year you didn't accomplish something.

I can't quite remember all the goals I has set for myself for 2009, although I think landing an agent had been one, which I did not accomplish. However, I did finish one manuscript, I did submit it (not actively), I did attend RWA Nationals in D.C., and I'm more than 2/3 through two other masterpieces. :)Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10661396654827059313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4658469631060045142.post-90029714538973487782009-12-06T14:22:47.645-05:002009-12-06T14:22:47.645-05:00I enjoyed reading your post.

Also, I hoped to complete my novel by the end of the year, but alas, I'm only two-thirds of the way there. <br /><br />The upside to 2009 is, setting expectations for myself put me on a path to complete my goals. You'll never get to second base unless you remove your foot from first. I'll eventually get to home:)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00501918398545296619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4658469631060045142.post-4716212120865447662009-12-06T14:01:06.283-05:002009-12-06T14:01:06.283-05:00Oh yeah, Colin Firth is amazing in the Pride and P...Oh yeah, Colin Firth is amazing in the Pride and Prejudice 1995. :) I have seen that adaptation so many times.
