    @eden-anderson, Hey! And happy (late) New Year to you! 😀

    2018 was a crazy year, but anyway, here we go.

    What I Wrote:

    A short story called Ocean of Beauty, which I entered into a writing contest, but didn’t win.

    One page of a story I called Scars Like Mine, for a writing class.

    About a million story ideas, beginnings, and snippets. Okay, maybe not a million, but a lot.

    The first draft of my novella, which doesn’t really have a title.

    The beginning of a collaboration story with one of my siblings.

    What I Read:

    The Unblemished Trilogy, by Sara Ella

    The Beyond The Circle series, Eyes Wide Open, Blink, and Water Walker; by Ted Dekker

    Case for Faith, by Lee Strobel

    The Masterpiece, by Francine Rivers

    Will Our Generation Speak, by Grace Mally

    Yes, You Can and I Dare You, by Isabella Morganthal

    …and probably a few others that I don’t remember. 😛

    What I learned:

    Oh my goodness, I learned so much. Where do I start? I learned…

    How desperately I need grace.

    I can finish draft.

    There’s power in sincere prayer.

    I actually like drinking tea. Who knew?

    God can use the things we see as insignificant to touch peoples lives and do something powerful.

    I can do nothing without God, but on the other hand I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

    What it means to praise God through failure and mistakes.

    I really like to sing.

    My Writing Goals for 2019

    Write another draft or two of my novella.

    Outline and start the first draft of another story idea I have.

    Write more of the story @noah-litle and I are writing.

    Yeah, I’m not that great with goals. :-/
