A new chapter in my writing journey...

I've been seriously writing for the last twelve years.
The last couple of years have marked significant turning points in my writer's journey.
In 2010, I started the new year by enrolling in Margie Lawson's Defeat Self-Defeating Behaviors online course. What an eye-opener and amazing process of discovery. Armed with new insights and fantastic tools, I have my two-headed dragon of Self-Doubt and Procrastination corralled into a cage, and I've hung a sign on the front: DO NOT FEED THE DRAGONS.
I have reworked my writing mantra: it is now REWRITE EDIT SUBMIT. 2012 will be the Year of the Edit: the year I learn as much as I can about writing craft and the year of Submit.
Let the submitting begin...
The last couple of years have marked significant turning points in my writer's journey.

- In 2008, Beyond Happily Ever After was published in Wet Ink magazine, and suddenly I was introducing myself as a writer. I also found myself a fabulous critique partner, Kiki.
- In 2009, I joined the Executive Committee of Romance Writers of Australia and am now Member Secretary of the organisation, after a stint as Social Media Manager.
