Ashley got to meet her writing 'hero..ine' Rene Gutteridge
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?
Okay - so what's happening next week?
Monday - Angie will spotlight a friend who just read her first Christian fiction book! Come see how fiction stories really can change the life of readers.
Tuesday - Debut YA Author is up at The Alley!
Thursday -Join Karen as she posts "Life Critique: A Year in Review"
Friday - (I had to brace myself for this one :-) Cindy teaches about How to Be an Organized Writer. Come and glean from her wisdom
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. ;)

ReplyDeletethe 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

ReplyDeleteYay for all of you!
ReplyDelete2012 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.
