Okay, I admit to leaving last year behind with mixed feelings.
Personally, 2010 was a bloody awful year (family/health stress mostly). Professionally there were some seriously good highlights, but then a strange and terrifying nothingness, which unfortunately led this creative mind to making up crazy plots (usually with disappointing endings).
Enter the Queesland floods…. Nothing like a country being devastated by catastrophic weather events to give the whiney writer a reality check. (And if Anna Bligh didn’t show me how to remain positive and cope under pressure…well…I don’t know real pressure!)
So with my new I-have-so-much-to-be-grateful-for attitude, I am getting back into my happy grind of writing and blogging. I’m also donating to various flood appeals/initiatives (more on this and how you can win in a couple off days).
In the meantime I have sent off three entries into the RWA Little Gems Short Story contest. I made it into the anthology last year. Can I do it again?
Yes I can! (positive, positive, positive)
Good luck with Little Gems. I'm gathering my courage to do one last edit and send in my entry! I *will* do it this weekend..

Best of luck with Little Gems. And your b'n'b online auction prize for flood relief sounds fantastic.
