Balanced and realistic goals is the...Hi Christine,<br /><br />Balanced and realistic goals is the way forward in 2014. Your goals for this year certainly seem doable.<br /><br />I like your priorities. As for the alphabet challenge, you might be surprised to know that neither my human or I will also not be involved. In our case, we ironically promote the darned thing.<br /><br />Moving swiftly past the "Mork from Ork" challenge, 2014, I wish you the very best, no matter what you decide.<br /><br />My writing goals are to make my human character, Gary, a little more realistic.<br /><br />Pawsitive wishes,<br /><br />Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar! :)klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7568117157220074400.post-80591322942218020872014-01-14T05:29:00.090-05:002014-01-14T05:29:00.090-05:00It's great you've got such a good idea of ...It's great you've got such a good idea of where you want your writing to go this year.
