Congratulations to everyone who won, not only for great writing but for having the courage to submit!
Stop whining about your life, and start thanking God for it.

Hey, Lucy... Congratulations! I don't know how I missed this announcement until now... I was actually checking for it but I must have been checking in the wrong place or just spacing out!

Thank you, John, and thank you for the review.
Right now I'm at about 16,000 words, and I'm totally lost. I don't know how this will ever be a real story, let alone a completed manuscript. But I do think it has promise.
I keep getting ideas while I'm driving, and with the frickin' Lyme, I have almost no short-term memory. So no matter how hard I try to hang onto those ideas, they're gone by the time I get home. I did have a digital recorder, but... I lose everything.
Guess I'd best get back to work.
