At the end of the day (or year, I suppose), being satisfied with how much one has pushed oneself is what all of us strive for, regardless of what area it's in. And it sounds like you've had an amazing 2010 in that regard.<br /><br />I hope I'll be able to write more, too, and keep it courageous and creative. Fear of my words is very crippling for me as well (I have had a couple of cases of terrible writers block in the past). Now, with more on the line, I get moments of blinding terror/insecurity more frequently. But I'm determined to push through them (I hope!). We'll do it together!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16139276393721559501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11630270.post-80314609757593437602010-12-31T09:43:28.014-08:002010-12-31T09:43:28.014-08:002010 was amazing, wasn't it? A part of me does...2010 was amazing, wasn't it? A part of me doesn't want the year to end, that 2011 will just be a continuation of the increasing awesomeness 2010 started. Fingers crossed.<br /><br />Congratulations on your book deal, again--it is a huge accomplishment and a catalyst for so many amazing things to come. <br /><br />My 2010 resolution was to make sure that it was nothing like my 2009. I wanted to take my life into my hands again and seize every opportunity that was afforded to me.<br /><br />I think, for the most part, it worked. Which is why, even though it's just a calender, I'm sad to see 2010 leave. I don't know if I can imagine something greater happening to me in 2011, but I am determined to push myself further and still hold onto the knowledge that I am entirely blessed for everything I have right now.<br /><br />I want to write more. I want to write with more passion. I want to stop being afraid of the words and start considering them as allies. <br /><br />I will write more. I will write more manuscripts--more stories--and be a better storyteller.<br /><br />Happy New Year, Marie! 2011 will blow the socks off 2010!Aun-Julihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06397471472784977686noreply@blogger.com
