SOL 31 Reflection


At first,
 I was
Curious
Could I do it?
Scared of being noticed
Sure I would get distracted by life
Afraid I would not have enough to say
Worried that no one would like my writing
Concerned that there would not be enough time
Anxious that my writing would not be as good as others

A month later,
I am
Energized
Excited about writing
Empowered by other writers
Proud that I wrote every day!
Aware of the little events of my life
Sure about the need to write regularly
Transformed into a more confident writer
Very happy that I completed the challenge
Cyberfriends with writers all over the globe
Confident that we all have writers inside us
Grateful that I decided to give this a try
Ready to start finding a publisher
Ready to catch up on laundry!
Looking forward to Tuesday. 
Anxious to write again
A SOL survivor
Proud
 
Tomorrow
Begins a new challenge
April's Slice Off Me (SOM)
Exercise my muscles every day
Work on getting in shape
Lose a few pounds
I guess, I like
Challenges

Anita,
Your shape looks like a lamp to me when I view your blog. Don't know if you meant for that to be but I was thinking-if so, was this month of writing a light's on moment? Loved reading your slices! Good luck with your new challenge!

I told my daughter today that if I could write every day in March, I should be able to exercise every day in April. I love your visual. It's so hard to make time for ourselves. Good luck with your new challenge!
