Wouldn't it be glorious to win that for exposure but pure cash too. I have entered before, just never made the grade! Thanks for the reminder.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to say thanks for stopping by the Kindred Heart Writers blog last week. Writing conference appointments can be so scary, so the humor helps!

Thanks for the link, Donna. I don't know if I'm up for this one. But it's good motivation to get something prepared for future contests.
ReplyDeleteHi Val,
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. Most likely I won't have anything for this one either. This month is already shaping up to be a wild one.

Thanks for sharing such a fantastic opportunity, Donna! Sorry I've been MIA--we were on a road trip and returned home to no power, and then we both came down with sinusitis. Getting back my groove now!
