Happy New Year! Been looking forward to a new year of writing. A lot of people talk about a New Year’s Resolution, I like the easy ones. I will 12 chances to keep mine. My New Year’s Resolution is to submit at least one short story or article each month. The last month of 2011 I was busy revising , organizing, and getting things ready to go.
Since I am a happy winner of the FIRST PRIZE PICTURE BOOK CRITIQUES in the PiBoIdMo, I have also been busy revising a picture book for it.

Again, Happy New Year! Till next Monday, Happy Writing!

Thanks, Ann. Maybe 2012 will be filled with many more good surprises.
Congrats, Rick, on winning the critique. And now that you are finished with the PiBoIdMo, you should have plenty of stuff in your inventory to submit. Goodluck with it!
Thanks, Allyn. I have a lot of PB ideas, some articles, and short story ideas. I should be able to submit at least one per month.
Great Rick – sounds like you chose a great order – read and write and revise first, then submit. You sound like you could use the new “badge” I created and posted on my blog today. For me, 2012 is also the Year of the Submission. Here’s hoping!
Yes, Miranda, I hope this year is one for submissions. The more the merrier! I’ll check out the badge, thanks.
