RhondaI made up my mind after sitting out of the writing game for a few years that is was going to be my year of determination. Okay, I actually make up my mind about this after final-ing in the 2007 Brava contest. Then I finished the novella and mailed it in before the contest ended. That was January 2008. Then and there I promised myself that I would work hard this year to see if I have what it takes. I would write each day, well this was revised to writing each week. Some days I can find time, some not. Some days I can write two pages and be happy, and some days I can write twenty pages or more. So the way I figure if I’m only writing once for the week, it has to count. My family has been supportive. I’ve been determined. I found out about another publisher contest and had a finished manuscript sitting around. This contest was for a full novella. I had a story that needed an ending and polishing. I pulled it, took a weekend and went through it. I found out today that it finaled in the Red Sage contest. To say I’m excited doesn’t sum it up. There are four finalist two will be published. I’m sitting here thinking that maybe, just maybe it will be me. I don’t know when I will find out, but regardless of what happens, it is another step in the right direction. And one I'm gladly willing to take!
