Chances


This month I did something that I've contemplated doing for three years. I entered the Writer's Digest competition. I won't know the results until October. Long wait. I entered in the Personal Essay category and the Poetry category. After I sent them in, I felt nauseous. I guess that's normal. I probably wouldn't have found the courage to send off this year except that another friend was entering too. It held me accountable.

Now, only 36 more articles/stories to send off before my birthday deadline! :) Not sure I'm going to make that one.

Proud of you! Your pursuit and follow through are inspirational to me, they are part of why I went ahead and turned in that demo to Rooster Days, and push me to chase music the way you are chasing writing.
