This is the month in creating writing goals and making big accomplishments. What is your greatest accomplishment -- in writing, your life or perhaps something incidental that had a big effect on you?
At the moment, I want to say my biggest accomplishment has been to not pull my hair out with how hectic life has been. Raising a nine-month-old on my own and making ends meet has been my main focus. But the fact that I have a job related to writing that keeps my creative juices flowing has to be another great accomplishment.
Yesterday, I visited a client's site. They are hosting a contest to raise money for cancer research. There, I saw my press release I created for them, talking about cancer and how it can effect so many people.
The sense of pride I felt to see my writing work online feels like a major accomplishment to me, especially since most of my own fiction writing has been put on hold. I plan on getting back to it soon, when my daughter is a little bit older and I have a bit more free time (I hope!)
So, what are you big accomplishments? What makes you straighten up with pride in who you are and what you are doing in your life?

This looks like it'll be a challenging question!
ReplyDeleteThis is a tough one, and the hard part is not just answering here!
ReplyDeleteMichelle, this is such a great topic! So wonderful that your press release is touching so many people and that you have such a great accomplishment in being a mom too. :)
ReplyDeleteGood for you, Michelle! That is satisfying for sure. And being a fellow parent/writer, I know just how demanding life can be ... especially when being pulled in so many directions!
ReplyDeleteOoh, tough choice. I'll have to think hard about this one!
ReplyDeleteI hear you on getting a sense of pride out of your everyday work. Sounds like your dayjob can be quite rewarding when you focus on the people whose lives you're affecting.
Great topic!
What a great topic, Michelle! And raising a nine-month-old in the midst of other duties is definitely a huge accomplishment.
ReplyDeleteThis question will definitely take some thought. I like how you broke it down into different areas of life.
Oh, it's so hard to write with kids :) And wonderful accomplishment! sounds like you have a wonderful job :D
ReplyDeleteWriting with kids is so so hard - especially when you are working too. It is great though that you can keep your writing skills sharp through work even if you don't have much time for creative writing.
ReplyDeleteThis was a fun question, Michelle. Considering all you're dealing with though, you are to be admired for your accomplishments. I know you inspire me all the time. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I gave you an award today :)
ReplyDeleteMichelle, you should be proud! You're doing amazing things. :)
