I'm not a big one for new year celebrations. I try (!) to approach each day, and if desperate, each hour as a fresh beginning, rather than seeing the changing of years as a time to make changes. I say try, as it doesn't always work.
No matter what my day has been like, I take time each evening to reflect on things I am grateful for. I decided on New Year's Eve I should reflect on just a few of the writerly things I am grateful for in 2011.

- Generosity, laughter and support from friends and family
- Enthusiastic and supportive students and teachers.
- Melbourne Writer's Festival Regional Tour
- Supportive & generous fellow children's and y.a. authors and bloggers.
- Talented and hardworking editors - Mab!
- New editions and new books
- Time and a place to write
- Inspiration
And then there are all the incredible things in my non-professional life that I am truly grateful for...
I am a very lucky person.
Wishing you much peace, happiness and abundance in 2012.
