Hannelore, Thanks! It's exciting really...I'm half finished with my story...I've learned writing isn't something you force...it has to come naturally. Some days I'm into writing, others I'm not. I hope the final half comes before the contest deadline...LOL.

Has anyone ordered the Writer's Digest? Is it worth subscribing to?

I'm working on something to enter into the contest. Halfway there...now waiting for the rest to strike me while I'm awake at 2 a.m. I love you, too, Debra. Thanks for the sweet words...you're just trying to make up for when you pestered the life out of me when we were little kids...LOL. Actually, I think it was the other way around...I pestered the lift out of you.
