Goodbye to Another Year
It's time to say goodbye to another year and ring in the new. 2010 was the start of a new decade and although it had some pretty miserable memories, there are lots of good things to remember, too. * I wrote my first middle-grade manuscript * I joined and helped build The Mixed-Up Files * Although I had tons of requests, and then an equal amount of rejections on my YA, I averaged 95% feedback from agents on these rejections. * My MG received about 99% feedback from agents (yep - that's pretty close to all of the agents that read my ms gave me more than just a form rejection) * My MG is still out with agents - but that's all I can say about that :) * Even though I hated it at the time, I participated in NANO. * I started blogging (technically I started in 2009 - but it was December, so it's close enough to 2010 in my book) * I've met some really awesome bloggers, writers and more importantly - FRIENDS :) * I joined a crit group. They are the bomb. I adore those
