HAPPY ONE-YEAR BLOGVERSARY!!

          One year ago today, The Words Flowing was born. I posted daily for the first few months, then slacked off when computers were hard to come by. I hope that this spring, I can write every day yet again!
          But this is a cause to celebrate! Curl up by the fire. Go through and read posts and drink hot cocoa. Though there is no snow here, it still is winter. Take off your shoes. Relax.

MY PRIDES AND MY JOYS

Over the past year, I've had some highlights. From Writers Camp to Life in Mill Halley, it's been great. Here are a few of my writing accomplishments.

1. Online writing was so much fun to organize and watch! I feel really accomplished to have this on my resume.

2. Life in Mill Halley was a joy to write. What started as a palate of characters has turned into my favorite project yet.

3. Starting this blog has been such a life-changing experience. I'm so excited for the year ahead! I hope I can bring smiles to faces all over the world as we go on this writing adventure together.
