What’s Your 2020 Word?

2 thought on “A New Writing Year with New Possibilities”

  1. Persevere – my old school motto.
    I will endeavour to complete the last chapters/scenes of the 1st draft of my father’s story. So that I can move on to the next phase – redrafts.
    Have a Joyous Christmas and may 2020 be filled with Peace, Hope and Good Health.
    Love and blessings, Paula.

  2. Thanks, Lynn.

    My word for 2020 is PERSISTENCE.

    I have subscribed to SCAPPLE and will put all my ideas onto it, instead of on notebooks and bits of paper. I hope this will bring together all my research visually.

    And….It has already shown me my THEME.

    So many thanks. Have a good Christmas.

    Rosie
