How will you grow this year? At 24 Carrot Writing we believe that goals are like a garden trellis. They provide structure, shape, guidance, and support. And they help us reach ever upward.
Take a look at our goals for 2022 and perhaps peek back to see what we have planted in the past. Gather some seeds, clip some cuttings, and have fun planning your own writing-garden for the new year.
24 Carrot Writing is here year-round to help you stay on track. We have fabulous bi-monthly blogs and book picks planned to help us grow, as well as an active Facebook community to offer support and encouragement.
Bloom beyond borders!
