SO jazzed about my win! Thank,, ladies!

Now, goals are another thing. It's been quite a year for me. I set three goals at the beginning of last year, and the only one I met wasn't really writing related. But it's okay, because God completely changed my writing direction - from adult Christian fiction to picture books! I've made new goals for 2014 based on that, and I'm super excited. But we'll see what God has to say about that!

And, of course, I'm looking forward to the Alley posts this week. Yaaaay!

Happy New Year, everyone! Thank you for the inspiration and encouragement you provide here. Not only did I make myself known as a writer, I also summoned the courage to ask my own book club to review my first novel, with some hilarious results. I just posted about this in my blog, One Day You Will: http://patdonovan.wordpress.com/2014/01/04/mouths-in-tight-os-and-other-book-club-contributions/
