I considered submitting a mother-related story again last year, but I was busy promoting my memoir, and didn't participate.
This year, though, as the submission days began to zoom by, I considered it further and determined that if my muse would cooperate, I'd give it a try. And so, at 11:45pm on February 16th, (15 minutes before the deadline!) I hit the "Send" button and it was officially entered into the contest.
The show is Saturday, May 9th, 2015.
Many days, my time seems to go by like this, but when there's a deadline looming, I make myself work - - which is writing - - which is work!
This morning at 9:14am, I received an e-mail that began like this:
"Congratulations! We enjoyed reading your [...]."
And even though it said "Congratulations," I still thought it was going to be a kindhearted rejection letter!
But as I continued reading, it said I was one of 40 chosen to audition! I'm a bit more confident this year, so hopefully I'll do a better job reading my story. My time slot is Saturday, February 28th at 2:00pm. Wish me luck!!

What about all of you?? What are you working on? Any particular contests or calls for submissions? Writing on your blog or in a journal? I'm interested, so please comment and let us know, especially if you have anything new to share.

My fonts are messing with me again and I'm trying to ignore the problem. Acckkk!
