Half Time


Let's recap and look forward in this writing year.


At the beginning of that other J month, no, not June. I mean January, you may have made some promises to yourself. Those may have included a certain amount of writing, reading, and reviewing you wanted to achieve this year. Since the half is still half-full, there is plenty of time left to get it all done.

Begin by taking inventory of all the things creative you have achieved this year. Don't forget anything. Even those notes scribbled on paper in the desk drawer count.

Next figure out how much there is still to do to meet those goals you set yourself...

And now is the perfect time to panic! Below, you can find all the contests you can possibly dream of to help you get caught up with those writing goals. *Bigsmile*
