It is a new year with all new challenges. I am definitely taking advantage of that and leaving 2012 in the dust where it belongs. It had been a bad year career wise as well as writing and blogging wise for me. But, I feel more positive and excited for this year and I hope that good things will happen. Though, 2012 was not all bad, I got to make a lot more blogging friends and I signed with an agent.
This year I am going to try very hard to let my writing
insecurities fly and just write, whether at that moment I think it is utter
garbage or not, because I am sure there will be at least a few lines that I can
salvage for another project if need be.
So, to all my fellow bloggers, writer and readers, lets make
2013 a great year that is worth remembering. No holding back.

I try to use the "keep calm and write on" philosophy because I agree with you that somewhere in the mess of a first draft is something salvageable, something upon which you can build. It's a lot harder to revise a blank piece of paper.
ReplyDeleteBest of luck to you!
M.J. - Thank you! You are so right and now I have to try and stick to it too. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried outlining the story and then writing? Maybe that would give you more confidence as you write. Keep writing!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Karen! You've secured an agent... what a coup! You've done well Murees!
ReplyDeleteKeep the positive spirit!
I love your attitude. Jut let them fly and write! My mind set exactly.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the AGENT... Why rush from 2012 so quickly?
ReplyDeleteBut the sun is bright and may in shine for all of us in 2013...
HAPPY NEW YEAR and all the best!
Wishing you all the best in 2013 - you definitely deserve it, onwards and upwards!
ReplyDeleteTonja - I do create an outline of my novel before I begin. Thank you for the concern.
ReplyDeleteKaren - On the day job front I lost one job and then the second one was unsuccessful as well, meaning that I was totally dependant on my family for money. So I got an agent, but I couldn't support myself financially.
Michelle - Thank you.
Stephen - Thank you, you are so kind!
Michael - Thank you. I think getting an agent took all my luck for 2012, because I was let go of one job and was unable to obtain another. But other than that...
Annalisa - Thank you so much.
ReplyDeleteI've read so many amazingly positive posts today that I think Alex may have to re-name the group! Best of luck with everything! :-)
