Although I'm actually still on my blog-a-vacation, I just had to post something short, but very important and exciting!!
One of my friends, who is also a Blogger, Writer, and Critique friend.....Donna, OF DONNA'S BOOK PUB...WON.........
1st PLACE IN THE ERMA BOMBECK CONTEST!!
Can you say WOOOO-HOOOOO?! I am THRILLED for Donna. She's a great writer (obviously) and a great person and I'm proud to call her my friend. AND, I'm extra excited because I am part of the critique group who first heard Donna's winning story!! Go to her blog and read all about it!

Hi Becky,
ReplyDeleteYou are so sweet. Thanks for posting about my win. I'm still in shock. Oh, and I love the Erma Bombeck quote.

Yes, isn't this nice, Becky? Donna is so deserving in the first place but how nice the prize goes to someone we know! Makes us feel like our "family" was the winner doesn't it? Ah, I consider myself sort of family despite being Missouri West!
ReplyDeleteSuch exciting news! Donna is very talented, and definitely deserving of this honor.

ReplyDeleteAnd now you have a "Brush with Greatness" story for when you appear on David Letterman.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to hustle on over to Donna's and read her winning entry.
Congrats to both of you! Its always so awesome when someone you're working with, and a friend no less, succeeds.
ReplyDeleteHere's to many many more! :)
What a marvellous friend you are. As I commented at Donna's place your happiness for her is so evident and so real.
ReplyDeleteI am indeed blessed to call Donna a friend, and also to be a friend of the one and only Becky Povich. Being in a critique group with the two of you is extraordinary.
