My sister in law forwarded me this clip. Paula Cohen, the author of Big Dreams, Small Fish featured in the discussion, was my wife. Always nice to hear her and her work referenced. Best to you
Thanks for the quick video. I still wrote lots of notes.
Beautiful Julie! I cried too!😅
What a great idea. Thanks!
The most important step I've taken in writing PBs this year was to join 12 X 12. It's often hard to put my writing first. A video like this one reminds me of how important writing is to me and how I need to focus. This Mid-Year Check-In is a great idea. I also like that it's available to everyone, not just to members. The friendly attitude and giving spirit of this group is undeniable. I've been more productive this year and I've made more time to do what I love. 🙂
WOW! Thank you so much for this feedback! We are so glad to hear you are maintaining your motivation and drive to keep creating. the world needs your stories!
😊
Wow didn’t we do well!
Congrats Everyone!!!
I love your book don't wash winston
Did I miss part two?

Julie Hedlund and the “12x12ers” create one of the most rewarding and remarkable communities that supports, strengthens, encourages and teaches every level of author and illustrator. My years participating in Julie’s “12x12” have been one big blessing in my writing life. Julie and Kelli Panique’s honesty, enthusiasm and humor have kept me lifted during the toughest times of “rejection.” Thank you, Julie!

So glad the very creative Kari Allen is part of the 12x12 community!!!
This was so helpful! I have poetry books just sitting on the shelf while I've been looking at PBs. I'll be sure to give them some use, now!
Is copyright stuff blacked out?
Excited to be part of this community! A big fan of Rajani LaRocca!
So inspirational ❤️
Aww thank you Shirin! ❤
