..to the new year writing wise but not so bad either so what am I moaning about? It has been "okay." January wasn't as prolific as December but it had a few successful days. February has got off to a slow start but then it is only the 3rd so there's time to improve.
I was on a roll before Christmas but then I sort of lost the momentum and never picked it up again. Well I guess I have had a lot on my mind - and yes its still whizzing round the space between my ears.
And a quick note about the "full time writer" experiment. It was relatively successful but it taught me that I'm not really at the stage in my writing where I can afford to give up the day job and rely on what I can earn from writing.
Heres to the rest of 2011.
BTW Its dear old Ma and Pa's 60th (yes I said 60th) wedding anniversary today. Go them!!!

Happy Anniversary to your Ma & Pa. Time flies went you're having fun!
I'm not anywhere near being at the point where I can live off my writing, just lucky that the company I worked for wanted to pay me to leave them and make a living by myself...lol
Good luck with your writing projects in 2011, Colette
Wow, 60 years is a real achievement these days!
Hope the momentum keeps growing :o)
Hi Colette,
With regards to your experiment of writing full time, I think you should be proud of yourself have at least having a go.
For me, I sometimes wish that my writing was at a standard where I could even think about doing it as a full time career. For now I am enjoying my writing purely as a form of expression and creativity.
Great blog by the way.
Happy writing,
Adam
Gosh - happy anniversary to your parents. 60 years is amazing isn't it.
Thanks everyone I will pass on your conratulations.
Jarmara - Hows it going?
karen - momentum stuttering a bit due to bit of a cold and heavy workload with the day job.
Adam - I think that I would always struggle to rely on writing completely because its just too unreliable. I like a regular income. Thanks for the comment about the blog BTW.
Joanne - I know. I'm almost half way there and I struggle to get my head around the fact that they have done it twice.
Congratulations to your parents, Colette! And keep on keeping on with the writing! :-)
Thanks Amanda. I'm trying to keep going with the writing but there's a lot on my mind at the moment and I'm struggling to get the momentum that I had before Christmas back. never mind, tomorrow is another day.
I echo - here's to 2011 - and what an achievement for your parents. Good on them!
Thanks Sue - hope things are picking up in your world.
Belated Happy Anniversay to your parents.
You're so right, it is very hard to pick up writing momentum once you stop. I haven't written anything much since well before Christmas.

Thanks Suzanne and I know what you mean. Before Christmas there was no stopping me. I had the momentum, the words were flowing and I was seeing results. Now I'm not doing half as much as I was then.
