Well, I didn't win the contest but plan to keep writing and submitting. Wish there was more time in the day...

first submission

Today I submitted two poems to the EDGE 2010 Poetry Contest. It is a magazine published by Tahoe Writers Works. They wanted to know what keeps you from going over the edge or what it's like to live on it. I specifically wrote "Piles" for the contest. It describes the piles of work I need to get to inside and out but how my kids need to always come first. I need to send it in to the Library of Congress and get it copyrighted. Anyways, I am excited. They are making their decision by December 1st and there is a $500 prize should I win. Honorable mention would even be nice, those get published too! Fingers crossed...
