For the last several years, on my birthday, as a little gift to myself, I've posted a collection of photos, quotes, or other things that I just like and make me happy and reflect my view on life but don't really belong in a blog post. I didn't do that this year. Well aside from that quote above. And this picture below:
But there's a reason for that. It's because on August 21st of last year, I started an outline for a novel. And last week I promised myself my birthday gift to myself would be to finish it by my birthday.
And so, 85,943 words and approximately the same number of cups of coffee later (and one broken mug handle), I gave myself a book for my birthday.
My goal for next year's present to myself: Getting it published.
