Angie and Pepper signed with agents this year!
Our Alley family expanded with the WONDERFUL additions of Karen Schravemade and Ashley Clark.
And 8 of the 10 Alleycats got to meet in person at ACFW in Sherrinda's stomping grounds! Dallas! Now THAT was memorable and will probably fit professional, personal, and spiritual all-in-one! :-) Plus we got to catch up with former AlleyCats, Wendy Paine Miller and Sarah Forgrave.
I'm sure there are more things the AlleyCats can add to this list, but we'd love to hear from you! What are some of your professional accomplishments this year?

LOL...Pepper, your response to Cindy's post on Friday....hilarious! I bet the post is fabulous and you might even learn something! Or not! I think what you are doing is working just fine. ;)
Ah...love all the pics and accomplishments this year. We've been busy. :)
Favorite writing part of this year, meeting 7 of you :) BY FAR...
Sherrinda
the word 'organized' has always struck fear in my inmost being
I prefer controlled chaos
I want some of your controlled chaos if it will help me write as many books as you have! LOL

Yay for all of you!
2012 has been such an amazing year for me.
I finished my first novel and just finished the draft of my second. I finaled in the Rattler too (yay, Mary!). I attended my first major writing conference and a My Book Therapy retreat. I started a critique partnership. Got my first agent and editor rejections. :P Whew, those are out of the way!
And I met all of you here and most at ACFW!!
Yeah. 2012 = good year.
