It's June and the summer is here!
Hello Friends!
We've survived the long cold winter and are moving into the fun of summer! Let's enjoy the warm weather fun and find inspiration in everything we do!
Tell us your stories of lazy days, summer vacations and let's not forget those summer romances!
Why not keep a journal of all of the wonderful things we do this summer and write write write and by September you may have a whole lot of wonderful words to put into a short story or a novel!
It's now time to clean up the work and submit your stuff! You know you've got it in you ..., so GO FOR IT!
Over the past 8 months I've cleaned up some of my writings so I could practice what I preach and submit!
I entered a Human Interest article in a competition at a writer's conference. My story finished in 2nd place!
I'd also submitted a short story with the theme of "Memories" into an online contest which tied for 1st place. YES!
I'd completed my YA novel and submitted it for consideration to a small publishing company for consideration. I will do another post about that later.
I've also submitted my completed romance manuscript into the Big Create Space contest. I made the first cuts and I was thrilled. I didn't make the second cut but I am encouraged to have made it into the top 2000 out of 10000 entries. Hopefully I will do it again next year and make it farther and hey ..., who knows ..., I may possibly WIN! YOU CAN'T WIN IF YOU DON'T SUBMIT!
So let's all put our work out there and Keep Writing and Submitting!
And as always, KEEP SMILING! : )

2014 Writer's Digest Self-Published Books Award Contest
Hi Everyone!
I hope you've begun this New Year feeling refreshed and energized and ready to make 2014 the year you Submit and Get Published!
To those of us who've jumped into the "Self Published Pool" Writer's Digest Magazine runs a contest every year specifically for us! They are now taking Early Bird Submissions. The one thing I do want to mention in advance is that they do have a $100. submission fee for the first entry and $75. for each one after that.
But do take a look and see if it may interest you!

Merry Christmas to All!
By now the gifts are opened and the children are hopefully settling down. Our hearts are full of love and feelings of tenderness toward our families and we're thanking our Lord for the Blessings of family.
Extra prayers to all of those who were lonely and homeless on this wondrous day.
I believe most of us have had funny, romantic and sentimental memories that were created today. Memories that can inspire some lovely stories. Think of all that you have done or will do during this happy season. Then I challenge you to write a short story, a chapter for your work in progress, a memoir entry and even be inspired to start a new novel! If not a Christmas story then maybe you'll find inspiration from your New Years Eve Celebrations!
If you'd like to share some of your holiday with me, I'd love to read about it. Just drop it in the comments!
I wish everyone a Blessed season and a Happy, healthy and prosperous New Year!
Keep Writing and Keep Smiling!
