First Draft Deadline Writer's Contest
Have you completed the first draft? Just two days ago, I sat in a rather uncomfortable metal chair outside of Subway and penned out in longhand the final few pages of my short story. I dare not read it yet since I have some homework to do this weekend and I know I will just get frustrated as the clock ticks away. I did pass out the first 4 or so pages to a few people to read however I have since revised those pages and doubt I will have time to get the final out for review.
So, if you have your story done by today and if you have had someone read even a portion by today, good for you!!! Now our final deadline for entry is May 2. We are in the final stretch and if there is any part of your story you wish to share, go right ahead!
After this weekend and a review of the draft plus revisions, I will post an excerpt to share. I welcome comments!
Have a wonderful Easter!
Bloggy Award!!
I got The Versatile Blogger Award from my blogging friend Dawn at
http://dawnbrazil.blogspot.com/ I am still trying to work my way around the hyperlinks to blog sites and struggle at times to get it just right. I am now to provide a few things about myself and then share this wonderful award with some other great bloggers!
1. I am sometimes refered by my friends as an "animal whisperer". From bugs, to dogs, to lizards.... and I agree with this assumption. I have a connection and so do my boys.
2. I believe I am living in reverse. I am not getting older. I feel younger (minus a few times where my back cannot keep up with me) each day and understand life much more than say my 20 or 30 something counterparts.
3. I am a student in the study of human nature... aka a police officer.
4. I would have 10 kids if I could. All boys..
5. The funniest person I know is my husband. The funniest people I know under 10 are my boys.
6. I thought I was pretty good with electronics until I tried connecting our new TV, Receiver, DVD/Blue Ray and cable yesterday..... but no fear... give me about 8 hours alone and without interruption and I will get it.
7. I want to be a writer. I know.. go figure.
Now it is time to return the favor and share this award with more of my favorite blogs and friends:

About Me
- http://themothercenturion.blogspot.com
- I figured things out late in life, like what I wanted to do, getting married (age 30), having kids, (36 and 38) and changing degrees about 3 times. Now as a cop of 19 years and in my mid 40's, I am finally figuring out some things. My first career or dream of becoming a writer is playing more in my head and daily life than ever. I love it. Thus the blog. It is all mine. I also love being a mother. They are all ours. I love my husband and as a cop, wow.. have I seen some things. Street degree. I got it. Let us learn together. I also am on She Writes.
