On Jan. 5 I took part in the #JustPitchIt twitter party and had my novella favourited. Then this past Thursday, I had a request to send the full manuscript. This has been the first time I have had a full request. After writing about my doubts about my writing on Wednesday – this was quite a boost. Nothing may come of it, but someone was interested in reading more.
Another big boost was just the outreaching from this community. Thanks to all who definitely helped with their words and caring.
Love this quote by Jeff Goins:

You’re doing great. Kudos! It is exciting when someone wants to see what you’ve written. Congrats! All the best for the week ahead.
Thanks Steph. Just the asking for it was a boost.
Great progress this week! I think “just write often” is great advice. Writing small amounts every day can add up over time. Good luck in the week ahead.
Thanks Denise. It is usually the simplest advice that is the most effective.
