Well, here we are again. Fast approaching the end of another year.
A time for reflection.
A time for taking stock of past achievements and setting goals for the future.
A time for stuffing yourself up to the eyeballs with satsumas and chocolate pennies and waging war with loved ones over whether abbreviations are allowed in Scrabble (they’re not).
2009 gets a great big thumbs up from me. It’s been fast, furious and full of changes – all of them impossibly good. I’ve learnt so much in the last twelve months I’m sure my brain has gone up at least two sizes.
So here, in no particular order, and written down as much for my own benefit as anyone else’s because sometimes they really need drilling in:
I tell you one thing I haven’t learnt. Whether it’s “learnt” or “learned”. I’ve used it both ways here. Tsk.
Ooh, you’ve got me all inspired!
Thank you, you wonderful woman.
Excellent post, as always. You deserve it all (except the computer problem. obviously…).

(I’ve given up. you’ve got everyone at it now. I might as well join in.)
In fairness I think I completely deserved the computer problem.
Anyone who has managed to reach adulthood without the ability to drink properly from a grown up cup deserves everything they get. I’m sure it’s a form of Writers’ Darwinism or something.
Glad to see you’re using your full and correct name my friend :)
It all happened to me, too, in 2009, huge illness, computer death, failure to back up a radio play I needed later, book contract falling through,…okay, I wasn’t hit by a car and I know how to drink tea. Through a straw? As for being scared by a producer, I look forward to 2010…Number 10… you are a great asset!

Just a load of writerly kisses

Sally – Aw, thanks. Right back atcha lovely!
Dinah – yes, a straw is good. Or a tommy tipee cup…
Excellent post, Shel. May I be one of the first to say here’s to 2010 – and there’s always a Tommee Tippee cup here for you… ;0) xxx
Spot the mother of an infant, with her correct spelling and initial caps! I’m not doing very well with my grammar here am I?
Goal #1 for 2010 – learn English.
