    I’ve been working through a monthly challenge with Jill Jephson. We are currently reviewing our achievements for 2014, evaluating our writing and setting up markers for the coming year. Today we had to choose from a word list, those words which we would like to see in a review of our writing, then those words which actually describe our writing. Comparing the lists gives us specific ideals to aim for in our writing in the future or words that might need eliminating. Elimination words for me were things like comfortable, careful. While things to aim for are clear, adventurous, distinct, powerful.
    It is helping me be specific about my goals for the year. Thanks for sharing, Karen and I hope you achieve all you set out to do in 2015.

  • Hi Raelene, thanks for sharing your unique way of assessing your strengths and weaknesses … and formulating a writing goal for 2015.
    Look forward to catching up with you on Saturday at the Create & Publish a Children’s Novel Masterclass
    Cheers,
    Karen 🙂
