A Progress Report<\/h1>\n

and Record of<\/h3>\n

Professional Development<\/h1>\n

__________<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I retired from teaching\u00a0 but I think it is good practice to write out my<\/p>\n

Progress Report <\/strong><\/h2>\n

reflects where I am at the beginning of 2018.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since retirement, I work full-time at writing.\u00a0 I created this report at the end of the year. This document gave me insight into where I was professionally and helped me focus on the year ahead. Next, I will work on developing a plan – my “intentions for 2018.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where\u00a0 WILL\u00a0 YOU\u00a0 be<\/h1>\n

at this time next\u00a0 year?<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I wrote out\u00a0 this list of publications I had in 2017.<\/p>\n

I knew I worked hard and long hours at getting my work out, but I did not realize how much I accomplished until I wrote out my list.. It was a NICE surprise.<\/p>\n

I kept good records and wrote my breakdown of publications in 2017.<\/p>\n

My\u00a0 2017 YEAR in REVIEW:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

Book Reviews – 3<\/p>\n

Poems – 56<\/p>\n

Essays – 34<\/p>\n

Book: Walking by Inner Vision: Stories & Poems,\u00a0<\/em> – 1<\/p>\n

Poem selected\u00a0for an Anthology – 1<\/p>\n

(Note: Prize for Single\u00a0 Poem by Proverse\u00a0 Hong Kong<\/em> –<\/p>\n

publication in “Mingled Voices #2” Anthology in 2018)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Articles I wrote for\u00a0 my own 2 blogs – 38<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Additional Insight:<\/p>\n

** Nominated\u00a0 by Spirit Fire Review<\/em> for Best of the Net Award for one of my essays.<\/p>\n

** Award for a poem in the NFB Writer’s Division<\/em><\/p>\n

** Wrote a Chapbook (New Snow<\/em>)\u00a0 which I will send out to publishers THIS YEAR.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

NOW it is YOUR TURN.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

That is IT from here in Western PA – lots of snow and sunny outside my window. I am day-dreaming of another winter day in Puerto Rico –<\/p>\n
