2016 Learning from my Reflections

1. Writing regularly and routinely is better than ‘when I feel like it’. 2. Being in a critique group is a great opportunity to receive feedback from my peers and I need to trust my inner voice to be able to provide honest critique to my peers, as much as I want them to do the same for me. 3. I need to sow more seed ideas in order to reap the benefits of having ideas to work on. 4. Broadening my horizons by participating in a variety of activities and interests fosters new ideas & relationships 5. At the same time, I need to give uninterrupted time to working on projects for extended time periods.
