I've been lurking here for quite a while and have to say this is one of the best blogs around...especially for us procrastinators. Sandra... Funny...cause I've been thinking about mentors for a bit now and just how to find one. I think there are lots of us who'd love a mentor to work with. While I've made lots of progress on my own, it'd especially nice to have someone to kick my backside when I slack up. Maybe an ad on twitter or facebook?:-) Happy day…

Richardson If you need a recommendation for a mentor/editor, send me an e-mail: jennifer@procrastinatingwriters.com. @Larry Why thank you. I was really freaking out about this birthday because I've been feeling a little like I'm in the same place I was last year, but that's so not the case. It took a shift in my perspective to see this, thou. I've achieved a lot more than I give myself credit for. Thanks for the reminder :-) @Sandra S.

You're just a pup... as you get older you'll realize what a treasure birthdays are, so celebrate it HUGE. Wish I would have been half as connected, insightful, giving and alive as you are at 26... I had no idea what I didn't know. Celebrate your achievements today! Have the best birthday ever... write something amazing today. Larry First and most importantly… happy birthday!

My birthday was Sept. 20th, though I'm older than you by slightly more than double. LOL I've never been good at setting goals, especially long term ones. I do like the thought of such "resolutions" being more person if we make them on our birthdays. I want/need to finish my writing course (this will most likely take another year to do). I want to get some work submitted. (I can't control getting published so I won't say that.) I want to get to where I'm comfortable with and really understand POV and "show don't tell". I want to find a mentor/editor that will work with me as I'm tired of feeling so high and dry. Sandra Happy Birthday, Jennifer!

Happy Birthday, Jennifer! I hope you're having a wonderful day. love it! my birthday is in June so I’ve always separated my year into two rounds of goals/resolutions. the hype at new years is always so much that I think doing this on your day makes it much more personal.
