Lucky Number Four


Things have been in enough upheaval that I forgot about the Fourth Campaigner Challenge sponsored by Rachael Harrie I entered last month.  Let us just say that life has been a tad bit distracting lately—so much so that when I slogged my way over to the computer this morning, I didn’t think I would write.  Words haven’t been much more than oatmeal in my brain lately.  For the first time ever, I wondered what I would do if they dried up.

Since I was in no rush to find out, I opened my email.  It is such a cliché, but folks, today I am here to announce that timing really IS everything.

The first message I opened informed me that I came in fourth place out of 110 entries in the second challenge of Rachael’s fourth campaigners writing contest.  

Read here to find out about the other winners!

Sorry for such a short post, but all of a sudden the lump of moistened grain in my head is seasoned with brown sugar and raisins.  

I think I’ll try my hand at writing.

    Congrats! And I've done the same thing this time around! Sadly, I've completely forgotten about the campaign because life has just gotten in the way!
