New Contest...Why not try one?

Sometimes we sit back with great stories hiding in diaries and journals and never get them out for others to enjoy. Then one day, a contest comes along that we think, "Maybe this time" and we throw caution to the wind and pop a story in an envelop and forget about it. Don't be scared. Here's a great place to send out something, even something simple. This is a great and very reputable contest open to anyone willing to lay their work out to the public. Why not give it a shot! Good Luck!

  1. Ginger,
    I subscribe to Glimmer Train and sometimes even get to read all the stories every month. This is a wonderful blog you've started. Already I feel that I can learn something from what you write or at the very least be uplifted by your encouraging words. Thanks.
