Hi Donna, thanks for your supportive words on my blog. I hope the magazine does do the article, it really would be a nice accomplishment - to know that I had reached the point where I could write an article about writing for one of the "big two" writing magazines! It was also nice to know that I had reached the point where my resume was strong enough for them to agree to assign me a full feature on the first go-round. It feels like such progress. I'll check out the writing contest you posted - you never know! I posted a couple on my blog too if you want to check them out.
