But the rewards of taking a plunge to do something can be huge too... it's just taking that first scary step!<br /><br />I guess we're a bit out of our comfort zone at the moment with these renovations! But we've nearly finished the painting and it's so lovely an fresh that I'm starting to think it's going to come together!

Sounds like it's been a productive time for you!<br /><br />Hm, the biggest one for me has been travelling alone to Europe and back. I prefer to travel with family but this time it wasn't possible.

The only recent one I think of was last November signing up for NaNoWriMo and admiting publicly online that I've slowly started writing - that said it's currently at a standstill as I have a lot of clutter to deal with and it's highly unconducive to writing.Lynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-28963430806652902722015-05-22T13:12:51.594+10:002015-05-22T13:12:51.594+10:00Helen, retirement is a huge change for anyone, but...Helen, retirement is a huge change for anyone, but good on you for embracing it!

Look at that gooorgeous cover! And so close on the heels of you RITA nom. You're flying high baby! <br /><br />Tried to preorder but its not up yet 😢<br /><br />For me, writing Limbo ( out today, yay!) was stepping out of my comfort zone. Writing something so different was bloody scary and at times I felt like I didn't know what I was doing or that I could even finish. I didn't feel like I had the right "tools" for it. But it was great when I wrote The End and proved to myself I could. There's also another potential project coming my way which is nothing at all like *anything* Ive done before (at least Limbo is still romance!) and will be completely out of my comfort zone but am looking forward to the challenge. <br />Amy Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12690419732247281048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-3538333767732852522015-05-22T10:31:14.540+10:002015-05-22T10:31:14.540+10:00Louisa, it sounds as if you didn't just step o...Louisa, it sounds as if you didn't just step out of your comfort zone, you soared! Super-duper congrats on your novella. It sounds fab. Also, that's a rather nice cover you have there. ;-)<br /><br />Enrolling in my PhD surely feels like stepping out of my comfort zone. Not sure I'm going to feel 'comfortable' again until the darn thing's done. Mind you, I know I'm alive. ;-)Michelle Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07748538761711892080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-88746709344681327382015-05-22T04:03:20.102+10:002015-05-22T04:03:20.102+10:00We painted almost the entire house (except for the...We painted almost the entire house (except for the bathroom, my son's room, 3 walls of our room, and the guest room), plus we replaced the 55-year-old carpets in our entire basement ... on our own. We've lived here 32 years and never gotten around to it because it was so overwhelming (and expensive). We had all the extra living room furniture in our guest room upstairs, and we had everything but two couches and a chair in our crawl space - all of it tucked away for about 3 weeks. We even placed baseboard and other trims around the basement where they should have been placed when the house was built....<br />The work is now done and we are (almost) ready for our daughter's wedding on May 30/15 (plus we held an open house for the couple here a week ago).Laney4https://www.blogger.com/profile/06990122242183752771noreply@blogger.com
