Short and Sweet

As an update to the previous post, the answer is no, my under-edited, -ly word burdened, almost-first-draft manuscript did not place in the RWA contest. Am I shocked? No. Am I dumb enough to pay the $100.00 entry for next year and re-submit said manuscript? Why yes, yes I am! And THAT is what makes me a real writer. I eat failure for breakfast. (And umm, snack on it before lunch, and sometimes have a big helping for dinner.)
