End of 2015:

• stopped working full time
• family moved interstate
• husband and children started new jobs and schools
• I enrolled in two writing courses
  • Romance
  • Suspense
• moved to rural setting with rolling hills, chickens and fresh (cool) breezes

2016:

• writing every day and submitting no less than one assignment per week (YAY!)
• finally reached a place in my life where I am allowing myself the time to write (only took 40 years)
