The first Wednesday of every month is the Insecure Writer's Support Group. Posts go up the 1st Wednesday of every month. Although, this month, we pushed it back to the second Wednesday because let's face it, most people were probably too hung over from celebrating last week to worry about IWSG. Check it out here and join if you need support with your writing. Don't forget to stop by and say hi to the co-hosts: T. Powell Coltrin, Victoria Marie Lees, Stephen Tremp, Renee Scattergood, and J.H. Moncrieff!
It's a new year, so I'm sure a lot of my fellow writers are looking back to see how they fared in 2019. I am as well, and...
But given all I accomplished, I'm pretty happy with my year. It's made me excited for 2020 and what I want to accomplish. How did your 2019 treat you and your writing? Did you reach the goals you set? Have you made plans for 2020? Or do you panster it? And don't forget the optional question: What started you on your writing journey? Was it a particular book, movie, story, or series? Was it a teacher/coach/spouse/friend/parent? Did you just "know" suddenly you wanted to write?

You should be happy with your year. You really accomplished A LOT! I'm especially impressed that you wrote four first drafts. I think I finish one first draft every four years or so.

Congrats on a very productive year! I did hit some goals - finished a first draft, got a story selected for a podcast, and made progress on a short story collection. 2020 is going to be a great year!

That's a lot of words in one year, and with the book too (one I thoroughly enjoyed btw)...wow. Congrats! That reminds me that I need to leave a review for you for another book too, I believe. Happy New Year!

I think you had a truly impressive year! Seems like no matter our accomplishments, there's always something more we wanted to do--maybe because we have so many visions and stories in our heads clamoring to get out? I say--keep up the good work!

I only managed to finish one first draft, and I started that years ago, so four first drafts sounds epic to me. Congrats!

Bravo, Patricia! You wrote 4 first drafts? That's wonderful! Seriously, well done!! I finished a solid first draft of my college memoir. I hope 2020 will give me a solid final draft.

The submitting is completely what counts, so congratulations! I do a mixture of goal setting and pantsing it. Mini goals come up throughout the year.
