Prompt: Try. What do you want to try next year? Is there something you wanted to try in 2010? What happened when you did / didn't go for it? author: Kaileen Elise
Try: I want to try to be published, a poem, maybe some art, maybe start working on a book. I now, know several authors,I'm intrigued by their commitment and their passion. I just am not sure what type of book to write. I have joked about it, perhaps taking a few cooking classes and writing a Zodiac cookbook, then there is my husband's family, this could go in a sci-fi direction, alien-in-laws. I could write about my grandmother at the tender age of 23, she became a widow, with 4 children under the age of 7. Her husband was killed in a car accident, when on leave from the Navy. Her mother, my great, great grandmother threw her out when she found out she was pregnant. This woman,a widow herself, was pregnant with twins, fathered by the married minister of their church. Each child could have their own story, chapter or book. I could work on YA fiction; I have a daughter that reads this genre, watching her and her friends, gives me a lot of insight into today's generation. The truth is stranger than fiction.
Try to take a class, this means enroll in college again. Try to become more organized, try to do more volunteer work.

In 2010, I tried my hand at art, submitted some to a couple magazines, I took online classes and felt a shift leaning towards a new path, and I joined a poet society. When I went for it, it felt like the right fit, the correct shoe, the path, I should walk for awhile, my heart felt at home, my vision changed, my attitude improved, and I felt happy!
It was as if blogging lead me to some happy accidents, places and paths I didn't plan to tread, but I am so glad I did~

Hope 2011 is good to you, too! You need to get your book in the works, so many interesting tidbits you shared! Funny, Santa comes every year down through our tiny town. It was raining hard, we heard the siren and went out and waved. No one around, usually weather is better. They went down the main street and came back and drove down our side road and Santa came to our door and gave us candy. My daughter was funny,"No, I don't want to go to the door", but she did. Santa was sweet!
Kaykuala-Thank you, you are right,it pretty much is a friendly crowd and we can always grow! Wishing you a wonderful Christmas!
