Action!

I had the privilege of participating in a blogswap this year, through 20 Something Bloggers {20sb.net}. I am so excited to be swapping blogs with the lovely Amber, who can be found at http://www.amberlashell.com/ . Below you will find a great post she wrote, and if you hop on over to her website you will find the post I wrote for her blog! Enjoy hearing from someone else, and when you check out my post be sure to browse around her blog for a bit. (-:

First I want to thank Mollie for letting me crash her blog for 20sb. Our topic was Action. What will you do next year that you have been putting off for too long...

This was a hard one; I had to take a few days to really think about this one. I am the kind of person that lives with no regret, and I always live life to the fullest. Now, given that, I am also the worst procrastinator; I tend to put things off until the last moment. Last year, though, I tried not to put things off as bad as I have in the past and actually managed to get quite a bit of things done that I had wanted to.

I joined a gym, and have been going at least 3 times a week for the past few months (check t hat one off)

I gave up drinking Dr. Pepper a few months ago too, and that was a really hard one. They were making me feel sluggish and bloated, and I knew that they were no good to me, but they were like my own personal form of crack, I was letting them take over my life. Even though the first week was one of the hardest weeks of my life, I managed to walk away cold turkey, and haven't touched one since (it's been a couple of months now) and I think I will make me a badge with "so many days" sober.. It might start a few interesting conversations.

I wrote my first novel... I joined a really fun website called NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) where you write a 50,000 word novel in the month of November, and I actually won!

I got a promotion at work, and managed not to kill anyone for almost an entire year so far! (Ok I wouldn't kill anyone literally, but if you work in an office, you know what I mean)

So, what have I been putting off that I need to get done?

Sending (stated above) novel off to potential agents. I am terrified of rejection, and rejection is just always expected in the world of publishing. I am scared that what I have written will not be good enough, or that I am just a crappy writer...

Once again, thank you Mollie for letting me crash your blog, it has been so much fun, and maybe we can swap again in the future

Until Next Time...Kisses!
