Happy Anniversary to me.
Holy crap. I just realized today is the 16 year anniversary of when I started writing. Rather than be embarassed or ashamed at how long the journey to publication is taking me, I wear each and every one of those years with pride. I could not be where I am now–and let me tell you, I freaking adore where I am right now–without each and every one of those 5,840 days.
And let me tell you one other thing–these next 16 years? I’m going to tear the mother fuckers up.
Yawp.

And how do you know that today’s the anniverary? I suspect there must be a story there. 😉

Not one worth sharing, just a date I remember. I’m hoping to have other, better dates to remember! 🙂

Wow, congratulations! You’ve worked so hard and come so far. I agree with Cynthia. I want details! 🙂 How are you celebrating, by the way?

To be honest, it snuck up on me so quickly I didn’t think of celebrating. Let’s see–I wrote and I read. Not bad for an impromptu way to celebrate the day! 🙂

Warning: Mushy alert! Avert your eyes now…
And I wouldn’t be where I am without you. ❤

Pam, congratulations, my friend!!! I always remember the date I first started writing (with the intent to finish a novel…) and it’s a day really worth celebrating. I hope you and Montana did (or will do) something really fun!!
As for me, I’ll definitely have some tasty treat on your behalf this weekend! Thanks for giving me such a great excuse, LOL. 🙂

Congratulations! And sixteen years isn’t bad at all, especially since you were working full time and living a life outside of writing, too. Plus, think of how much you’ve learned! Good luck in your next sixteen years!
