13 Reasons 2010 Was Hot

by ** Tatiana Caldwell ** on December.30.2010

Hard to believe that 2010 is pretty much over already. And what a year it was! I had a lot going on this year – some good things, some not-so-good things, but all in all it was a good year for me.

Here’s some reasons why 2010 was hot:

  1. I became a published author. This summer I made my debut with SAY MY NAME.
  2. I won a contract for a second book: THE SUMMONING.
  3. I wrote and submitted my first science fiction romance, titled WAY OUT OF CONTROL. (crossing my fingers in hopes my publisher buys it!)
  4. After years of writing, I made money from it for the very first time.
  5. My oldest son’s reading skills improved by leaps and bounds, and he’s also beginning to learn to read musical notes.
  6. My youngest son became fully potty-trained (was getting worried that was never gonna happen) and has latched onto drumming big time.
  7. Home Improvement Projects Completed: Landscaping, Hardwood floors, additional painting, guest room decor, bunk beds for boys.
  8. Husband and I started a workout routine together and we established a Family Workout Time regime.
  9. I’m now a proud owner of an eReader – a Barnes and Noble Nook.
  10. The support from family, and friends both old and new, has been tremendous.
  11. I’m now on sites like Amazon.com and GoodReads.com – making me feel like a real author at last. (If you’ve read my book and enjoyed it, please consider leaving a comment/review – my book’s Amazon page especially is rather lonely :-( )
  12. We’re ending this year with almost all of our credit card debt and medical bills paid off. We sure could use a clean slate for 2011.
  13. Even with all the crazy things I had going on, I managed to make it through the year with my job, dreams, family and sanity still in check and on target. That’s a good thing in my book. ;)

How was your year?
