Notes about books, writing for children and life stories. A Nook is "a small space or corner that is inside something. : a part of a room (such as a corner) that is used for a specific purpose. : a quiet place that is sheltered by a tree, rock,". Welcome to my corner of the world!

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.
