A Competition In Our Midst

Good Afternoon Readers,

Absent again, I know.  The joys of life has stolen my focus once again.  No matter.  The drive is still there.  I have sent other inquires out and got another response (negative but a response all the same). 

Today I ran across a contest while browsing PW.org (Poets & Writers - love this site!) and while reading it something HUGE caught my eye.  How about the winners of this contest will get to have a conversation with their partnering literary agency about writing careers and their written works.  Motivated??? 

ABSOLUTELY!

I'll be sending in a piece this weekend.  Still have a "9 to 5" to tend with during the week after all.  I think I'll submit "Love Revisited" the rewrite if it doesn't surpass the word limit.  If it does then "Death's Diary" it is.  I'm nowhere near finished with my science fiction piece, my comedy, or my (hmmm, how best to categorize it) mystery perhaps. 

My "mystery" piece has been fun to write. At times it seems more like a screenplay than a short story.  I can see it clear as the hand in front of my face but when it reaches the paper it seems to jump from a story to a television movie and back again.  Once I get all the pieces out of my imagination then I'll get a clearer picture of what this piece is growing up to be.

I realized I have put not one poem up for your reading enjoyment.  I'll have to work on that.  I have a few up  my sleeve. 

For those of you who celebrate holidays, I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, and Easter.  For you secret authors, keep your quills inked and your parchment at the ready for those new ideas.  For you "cup of tea and a warm blanket" readers, I hope you have found a real page turner (or three).  I'm off to counting words my followers.  Thanks for sticking around.  And as always,

Happy Reading
