  1. I did not plan to write one this month, because I did NaNo for a MG), but an idea popped in, so I wrote a pretty horrible draft, but I did it! And I did revise a draft, but only because my agent was waiting for it. 😂

  2. Another very slow month as writing is slower than molasses in January, but I did manage to write the second manuscript, a very rough draft, in my 6-part series, along with revising an older manuscript.

  3. November was a stressful month for our family. Our special fur kid, Bella, had most of her bladder removed. We brought her home yesterday. The prognosis is good so I’m feeling very thankful. I did write a rough draft for November and I revised. I’ll get my writing chops back as I watch my girl heal.

  4. What a crazy year. Month. Week. Day. Like today. I thought the December webinar was on Thursday. It was so hectic, I couldn’t even check my email…so I missed the webinar! I hope the replay is up soon. Ugh. I pray 2021 is a better year! But in spite of that, I had a great year of writing. Being a part of 12×12 really helped me to stay on track in writing, revising, and submitting. Thank you, 12×12!
