Forget the New Year’s resolutions for a minute. Yep, I know. Now that we’ve survived the non-apocalypse, there’s a whole new year rushing toward us at the speed of light.
Let’s ignore that for a minute.
It seems to me that we get so hung up on what we should do differently, what we want to change, what should be better, that we very seldom pause to actually give ourselves credit for what we have accomplished.
So I say, screw the resolutions. Let’s take a few minutes to reflect on what we actually did in 2012. Tell me at least one thing that you are proud of accomplishing. In exchange, I’ll enter you to win a galley of BETWEEN and a fun little dragon-in-a-bottle.
Since it’s my idea, I suppose it’s only fair if I go first.
It was a very big year for me. The two most important things are sort of bookends for each other: signing my first publishing contract, and surviving breast cancer. There was a lot of stuff in between, but it’s sort of hard to top those two!
Now it’s your turn. Tell me one thing (or more) that you feel good about, or proud of, that you did in 2012.
(You have until midnight on January 1st, PST, to post a comment for a chance to win. Also, people who know these things tell me you should be 18. But if you’re under 18, you could have a parental unit accept the book on your behalf. International readers are welcome.)
