I heard somewhere recently that we have until the middle of the month to say 'happy new year'! So, HAPPY NEW YEAR! Regardless of that thought, I think that it's always good to count our blessings and share blessings at the start of a new year. Usually there's so much potential, hope, and optimism at the start of a new year, and in these uncertain times I find it even more important than ever to reach within and find things to be grateful and hopeful for.
I've started the year continuing the journey and jumping into to new opportunities with writing picture books. I joined the 12 x 12 challenge, which is essentially is a challenge to write 12 books in 12 months, with a built in community, resources, and various opportunities for feedback. I've been waiting to join since last March when I found out about it (registration closed in February). January is also Storystorm - which is a self-motivated and regulated challenge to come up with 30 picture book ideas in 30 days. Both of these endeavors are intimidating, exciting, and challenging, and I couldn't think of another way to start the year on this journey.
Here's to a fabulous year ahead!
