RIDING ON A HIGH

Oh, my gosh. I am riding on a high. I just received an e-mail from Writer's Digest stating that I have won 24th place in their 11th Annual Writer's Digest Short Short Story Competition. HOW VERY COOL IS THAT!!!

When I get a rejection letter I want to throw up my hands and forget this entire profession. In my head I know it just wasn't the right story for that particular publishing house at that time. But, the longest distance in the world is from the head to the heart. And, in my heart I tell myself ... Why try, you can't write anything.

Well, well, well -- NOW -- The flood of doubt is finally washed away.

I CAN WRITE.

Okay, enough procrastination -- back to the picture book MARATHON.
