Hi K,
I have good news, and these days, with all the doom and gloom, I'm just going to sing a little, enjoy a good moment in my life. My story, "Swimming with Dolphins" in Chautauqua, 20th Anniversary of the Chautauqua Writers' Center has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize. How lovely to know the editors think it's such a good story. This certainly helps me to keep my butt in the seat, my fingers tapping away.
As a matter of fact, that's what I'm going to do right now. Work on that that final draft (I hope!) of the next novel. . .
Peace and all good things,
Sarah
