It's funny how things have a way of appearing when you need it the most. After a not so great day (it's only noon), I received a new copy of Writer's Digest in my mailbox. I was hoping that this would be the issue that my winning entry for one of its writing contests would appear. I wrote the opening sentence on a whim while paging through the magazine. I submitted it with a laugh and didn't think of it again. I discovered that I was selected as one of the winners by accident. Thanks for the email notification, Writer's Digest!
I randomly and vainly did a Google images search of my name and was met with a Writer's Digest link in the search results. Out of 1,400 submissions, my little sentence came in 7th... pretty respectable for an amateur like myself! Someday, I'll get more than a brief mention in this publication, but for now, this is exactly what I needed to brighten my day! :)
