It's not the sort of thing you think about as you get older, but since finishing work I found my self drifting, nicely I may add, with a long term goal of completing my first novel, and of course getting it published. Now I realise I need smaller, more realistic short term goals, so my new ambition is to set up my own blog this year, so I'm watching and learning! Good luck with this challenge, I'm excited to see what topic will be popping up every dayAnne Macklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635857544175826537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453833569907892604.post-39463116680317603412013-04-02T06:02:27.216+01:002013-04-02T06:02:27.216+01:00Very motivational ;) Perfect start to the challen...Very motivational ;) Perfect start to the challenge Anne!Anne Macklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04635857544175826537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3453833569907892604.post-10541891703234717872013-04-01T22:44:25.146+01:002013-04-01T22:44:25.146+01:00Great post!
