Reflecting on 2022 Achievements

I was reading my bible plan recently that is set out chronologically for me to read the whole bible in 365 days. And it was at 265 days. It is now less than 100 days until the end of the year and I feel there is so much to do!

Now it would be easy to get overwhelmed with this, but instead it is worth focusing on what has already been achieved. I have four young children at home – one of whom was born 6 months ago – and I work 4 days a week. Life is full and busy! And yet, I am rapt to have made further progress with my writing and publishing journey in 2022:

1. Most recently E and E was made available as a paperback on Amazon
2. B and B was also made available as a paperback
3. Free Rein #17 was put on pre-order and then released
4. Made by Design (Free Rein #16) was published
5. I took part in the Horse Book Summer Reading program (although it was winter here in the Southern Hemisphere!) and gifted a copy of New Beginnings (Free Rein #1) to a winner of the program
6. Courageous (Free Rein #8) was made available in paperback form on Amazon
7. A new Young Adult Series the Bridge Next Door had books 1 and 2 published over January and February

Looking at the above list, I can see that it has truly been a productive year around work and a young family. I am pleased with what has been achieved. But I am also looking forward to NaNoWriMo in November! I am keen to finish another novel to publish this year or early next year.

Free Rein #18 has been well and truly started and I’d love to finish this. But I also have another Christian Horse Romance, The Chemistry of Horses that I would love to finish! And the third book in the Bridge Next Door YA series has also been started.

And if I’m being honest, it’s usually a completely new story that steals the thunder and gets written and complete in these monthly writing ventures… 🙂 So here’s to a strong finish for 2022, whatever story it may be!
