This week's topic: Sum up your 2010 in a book title.
That seemed like the easier option over the top 5 books of 2010. Until I got to thinking about it anyway.
Here's what I came up with. My 2010 in a book title:
Living Voice With a Cup Half Full
I learned a lot in 2010. A lot about myself, about writing, about the industry, and even more about life. I learned how to stay positive in the face of rejection, how to take an okay piece of writing and make it something amazing. I learned that the YA writers online are some of the best and most supportive people you'll ever meet anywhere.
Above all, I learned to live my voice and keep a positive outlook. There were a lot of challenges in 2010, and a lot of tragedy, but it was also a year that I grew more than ever before. And 2011 promises to be even better.
What would your 2010 book title be?

You've summed it all up: " I learned a lot in 2010. A lot about myself, about writing, about the industry, and even more about life.

very well said!
Wow-very well written and thought provoking post. Who told you to get all deep on me this week? And I agree, we are a very supportive bunch :)
Above all, I learned to live my voice and keep a positive outlook.
This applies beautifully to real life and writing life. Lovely, Holly.
Such a lovely title! In a way, I think all struggling writers can relate. Though we may not have "made it" yet, we learn a lot through life experiences. It's best to stay as positive as possible. :)
Thanks guys!
Abby, my writing life has effected my day-to-day life more than I ever imagined it would. In a good way, of course. I wanted my title to reflect that. :)
That's a great title, and a great attitude to have!
Yay! What a great title, esp. moving forward in the face of rejection...a must in this biz.
That's such a great title! <3
Perfect title. Perfect. You are so amazing, I know your 2011 is going to kick butt.
What a beautiful, concise post. Amazing.
Wow. You said it perfectly - this post could have been written about my 2010 also. Beautifully put.
I'm glad you all like it. It was a big year with a lot of change for me. :)
What a great title. I love the idea of "living your voice".
Oh! Oh! We had similar titles! Mine was "cup half full" related too. :D
Beautiful post.
