Ladies and Gentlemen,
     I will be participating in the cover reveal for the 2015 Rooglewood Creative Writing Contest.  This means that one week from today, all of you will find out which story this contest is featuring and you can start sharpening your pencils.
     Their previous contests were as follows:

Five Glass Slippers 
(a Cinderella retelling)




and


Five Enchanted Roses 
(a Beauty and the Beast retelling)




Check back on June 1st to see the cover for the next anthology and to discover the contest parameters for this year!


P.S. I haven't seen it yet, and I am just as eager as you are!

    Me, too, Ana!!!
    And I'm sort of relieved that you haven't gotten the email yet, either. I was kinda worried that maybe I had been overlooked.
    So, yes, any day now for the revealers! And then EVERYONE will know in just 7 days! :D

      And I am relieved that someone else feels like that, too! I also got worried that my name was somehow forgotten, but then I looked back at the cover reveal for Draven's Light and realized that I got the cover reveal email pretty close to the actual reveal date.

      Oh, that's comforting to know.
      And it makes sense that Anne's email doesn't come too early.
      It's just hard to wait!!!!!!!!!!!!

A Short Story Break

via Pinterest     It has been a while since I penned a short story.  Usually it takes something like a "short story contest" to inspire me.  But I have noticed my writing skills improve with each contest so there is something to be said for writing short stories.      I say all this to lead into the fact that I am going to try another short story.  There is no contest looming on the horizon, but it has been so long that I think I am due to write a short piece.  Life cannot be entirely devoted to novel-length plots...      I am rolling around different ideas in my head.  There is no one to give me the first three words or a picture to base my story on.  There are no restrictions, no props, and no judges.      Methinks I will try something that is both epic and ordinary...something I have seen before.  After all, personal experience, great things, and the expression of the...

More Snippets from Snow White Rose Red

    One of the shadows moved.   “Were you just going to chuck it in there with no thought for the poor folks on the other side?”   Flip’s voice drawled out.   It was a deep voice and it made my heart skip a beat.      He moved away from the trees and came to stand in front of me.   “Some hard-working fellow is plowing his field and then – whop!   Out of nowhere, a poisoned apple flies out and hits him upside the head.”   He clucked his tongue reproachfully.

Goodbye and God Be With You

It's rather fitting that some things come to a close on this day -- the last day of the year. I submitted my last entry into the Rooglewood contest this morning.  I can hardly believe it took me until the day of the deadline to send it in because I'm usually earlier than that.  And, even with the extra time I took, I still felt a little bit like maybe I could have done better if I had more time. But there was no feeling of regret when I hit "send."  Mostly it was just a prayer that Rooglewood would hear the heart of the message when they read it and that maybe, if I win, they could help me bring the full potential out of my little story.  And there was also a feeling, after working on these stories for more than six months, that it felt good to close that chapter and move on to the next one. I did it.  I wrote them.  And I'm really proud of them. Last year, the act of hitting "send" on my contest entry catapulted me into an anticipatory state....
