Going Through the Old Files ....

  Hi ! I hope you all are doing great and feeling inspired and doing lots and lots of writing!
My Uncle is also doing some writing. He's been entering some short story writing contests. He's been sending me links so I can enter as well. I've been so wrapped up working on the edits for my novels that I couldn't wrap my mind around a story idea for the Short Story contest. So I thought I'd pull out the old files with writing ideas and see what I have started. This task has turned into a "walk down memory lane!" I have so many pieces of paper and want to read them all! Now instead of entering the short story contests, I've been cleaning house on my old files. It is also helping to refresh my memory on some of the old short stories I'd written for a Creative Writing Class. So far I've only come across one that I think has some potential. There are two in particular that I'm looking for but haven't found ..., yet!
     It's tough for me ..., one task seems to lead to another ..., and another ..., I started out editing my novel, got side-tracked by Uncle to short story contests, began to sort through old writing ...., decided to clean out the files to make room for new writing ..., came across clips from newspaper articles I'd written and began to organize them in a binder ....,  Do you see where I'm going with this?  And that is why I did NOT get anything submitted in 2010! After I write this post I plan to refocus my energy and GET SOMETHING ACCOMPLISHED!  Soooooooo....How's everyone else coming along on your quest to submit in 2011?
Keep smiling and Keep writing!        : )
