I completed the 12 x 12 challenge. I have written 12 picture book manuscripts this year, although some are nonsensical malarky, I tell ya. But they all have some promise, providing I can sprinkle the magic dust on 'em. :-) And I know I can. :-)
This is the end of the year blowout party.
Boom chuca, boom chuca, chuca, boom chuca, boom chuca, chuca! (Like that? Well I am an accomplished rapper now.)
When I first signed up, I wondered if I had what it takes. You know. THE stuff. THE STUFF it takes to write one every month. Discipline=YIKES! But I met up with some cool peeps and they said I had THE STUFF to write a new draft every month. *whew*
The first story I wrote last January has already been revised and is my favorite one. It is almost ready to face the world. So 12 x 12 has been very good to me. I think of it as my writerly mama. So I love you 12 x 12 and a supercalafragalisticexpealadocious hug for the mommy of all 12 x 12'ers, Julie Hedlund. I love you Mommy. *wink*
Congrats Robyn. That's a huge accomplishment and a super awesome way to end the year.
ReplyDeleteThat made me chuckle, Julie is the mama. I hope she's baking for us then lol. Congrats Robyn! :0)
ReplyDeleteHi Robyn - that's a fun post .. and so well done on the 12 x 12 .. an idea that we could adopt for other things ...
ReplyDeleteThat's lovely to know you've got 12 stories ready for finalising .. and I so look forward to picking them up ..
Wonderful to have a 'cheerleading' Mama ..
