Being a better wife, because it's a never-ending process. <br />2. (No, not a typo.) Being a more considerate friend who keeps in touch. I tend to fall off the face of the earth from time to time. It's time to be a surface dweller again. <br /><br />Good luck on your goals, my friend.Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16818614456443588750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485938624419295539.post-51319226337643864372012-01-02T19:59:12.251-06:002012-01-02T19:59:12.251-06:00I was just reading a writing 'how to' book...I was just reading a writing 'how to' book today!

I think the main goal for me is to keep learning, whether it's improving my craft, gaining self-awareness, or learning a completely new task. I think I become unhappy when I become stagnant.<br /><br />Good luck on your goals this yearsamantha@samanthagraceauthor.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16043060709341696044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485938624419295539.post-81384498442375116392012-01-02T16:38:21.136-06:002012-01-02T16:38:21.136-06:00Congrats Aileen!

One is definitely to make a dent in the writing world - another is to get back to the gym, and another is to pass the NY Bar! Wish me luck, right?<br /><br />No worries, Smithy - we'll get you there! :)Ammy Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06883496313552781199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485938624419295539.post-11384695034735322972012-01-02T15:12:37.842-06:002012-01-02T15:12:37.842-06:00Happy New Year Lauren!!!

Thanks!
I don't like resolutio...Woohoo, I won! Thanks!<br /><br />I don't like resolutions as such. I always have a list going of the things I need to incorporate into my life. I caught on that I don't enjoy walking 365 days a year, so I bought an elliptical machine and squeezed it into into my tiny room so I can exercise daily. And I need to get back in the habit of writing daily. And...and...the list just keeps growing!Aileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08566310387130412232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485938624419295539.post-42097583737219541702012-01-02T12:10:13.007-06:002012-01-02T12:10:13.007-06:00I have found my greatest source of knowledge in wr...I have found my greatest source of knowledge in writing comes from reading books in my genre. That shows me more what works than reading a bunch of rules from a 'how to' book. BTW, Ava, I just finished A Scandalous Charade, and loved it. And of course, Suzi is always on my tbr list.Calliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08109239327871560240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485938624419295539.post-4291585221957876422012-01-02T11:59:01.062-06:002012-01-02T11:59:01.062-06:00I think the best thing for every writer, or anyone...I think the best thing for every writer, or anyone, is knowing your strengths as well as your weaknesses, Lauren. And that's half the battle. <br /><br />Last year I knew I was great with hooks and action scenes but emotion and love scenes were a downfall of mine. I set out last year to doggedly improve those two things in my writing. And I think I've definitely improved over the last year in my writing. <br /><br />But I also think you're on the right track and have an excellent outlook on life. Good luck to you and your goals this year. I've always felt the human spirit will surprise us by what it can accomplish when we least expect it. It's amazing what we can do when we set our minds to it. Well done and good luck again.Suzie Granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14312483360154373125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8485938624419295539.post-20500380712039771222012-01-02T11:56:51.456-06:002012-01-02T11:56:51.456-06:00Great blog!
