2019 was a massive year, hopefully 2020 will be just as massive.
2019 - Successes and Milestones
5 published books through Library For All - what an amazing group of people! I went along to a workshop early in 2019, sent a few things off and now have FIVE published books for the year.
I found my tribe - Book nerds and writing groups are the best, and having a chance to just talk about books, words, language and literature with other inspiring people is mind-blowing. There are literally so many amazing authors, illustrators and book nerds within a stones throw from where I live. In 2019 I found some of these people and I wouldn't feel as confident embarking into 2020 without their support.
Still alive - this will always be one of the measures for a successful year.
Anthology Invite - I was asked to contribute to an anthology with a few other wonderful authors. More info coming in 2020.
