Still A Dreamer

And the good news keeps coming! Because I work on the computer for a living and am on it all week, I sometimes do not want to even turn it on on the weekend. Sometimes I m more successful than at other times, but this Saturday I had successfully eluded it’s demands until … I was being tapped on the shoulder. By whom? I’ll say my own intuition, because while I sat down to dinner, I had this urge that something important was waiting for me in my e-mail. I dismissed it, but the feeling was pretty strong.

So after dinner, I booted up, checked my e-mail, and there it was — a message from Tara Lazar announcing that I was 1 of the 3 Grand Prize Winners in the PiBoIdMo Challenge!! Woo Hoo! Now I didn’t win because I did anything other than complete my 30+ ideas during November – the drawing was random. But what I’m excited about is the prize – I got to send 5 of my ideas off to the literary agent that Tara paired me off with and who will critique me on my picture book ideas.

I honestly found the commitment to coming up with new PB ideas daily it’s own reward, but to have the opportunity to get a critique on some of them by a professional … well, now that’s some mighty pretty frosting on the cake. I can’t wait to hear back!
