4 Ways to Write More in 2015

Why You Should Do a Year-End Review for Your Writing

The year is nearly over (can you believe it?), and I’d like us all to take these last few days of the year to breathe in what we’ve accomplished in our writing over the last year. This is usually a time of release. We’ve finished the manic shopping before Christmas. We’ve eaten more than we should but we’re putting off our workout/dieting until January 1. We are relaxed, satiated now, and so this is the perfect time for a year-end review of our writing.
