Yuppers I finally did it!!
Washed the mountain that is reproducing on my laundry room floor? NOPE
Slayed the multitude of dustbunnies with my swiffer sword? NOPE
Knit and purl my way to the end of at least one of the knitting projects I've started in the last year? NOPE
BUT
I did actually entered a real live contest!!!!
Four copies of the first ten pages of my manuscript were sent off to Wisconsin. For the WisRWA "Fab Five" contest. Now to some it's not that big of a deal but for me, holy shit! I mean there will be real people reading what I wrote. Complete strangers who don't know who I am and don't care.... ya ok I feel a bit nauseous.
They say that people who jump off high locations experience a moment of panic when the body/mind realizes there is no turning back. I had a moment similar to that. Almost tried to crawl into the post box to retrieve my entry.
Now all that is left is to wait........

^5 chicca! *Passing you a paper bag* Breath in and out very slowly. Today a contest, next step a publisher! So did you make hermes fly around in those winged golden shoes?
That is a big deal!! Whooo hoooo. I hope you do well and get great feedback *G* (((HUgs))) and a great big ^5!!
Thanks for the bag Mo, I think it may come in handy *G* As for Hermes...fly yes, being the messenger of the gods he's a bit of a gossip and a snitch. Willing to rat anyone out if it means he stays in Zeus good books.
Feedback is exactly what I'm looking forward to Michele. *G* Now Im not sure how long it will actually take me to open the letter when it arrives. LOL
Yay! Yay! Yaaaaaay! I'm so thrilled. A big step, a scary step, I know, but a step leading upward. Upward and onward, FeyRhi. Best of luck. Fingers crossed!
Many thankyous to you Beth!!
Your generous help in showing me the things I need to watch out for has been invaluable.
