Hiya! Sorry to have been a bit distant lately; it truly not you, it's me. I've been concentrating on my short story writing. A blogger said recently, that short stories are a beautiful way to hone your writing craft, and I'd have to say that's been accurate so far. The nice thing about writing is that you learn as much from your shortcomings and weaknesses as you do your successes. The quickest way to become a better writer is to fail and fail often; short stories provide the opportunity to do just that.
I'm happy to say I think I'm making progress! I just won second place (romance) in a short story submission and I'm so excited. As I scanned the email announcing the winners, I was quite shocked to see my name and my story. I hadn't expected to win--I must be honest. It has boosted my commitment to writing stories, hence my absence here.
Thanks to all who have encouraged me along the way! Here's a link to the story if you have a moment to read it. I'd love to know what you think. Peace to each and everyone of you, and please follow your dreams.
