Dear Angela,
It was fun to receive the update on the Spring Short Story contest, thank you. I read all 3 winning stories – great choices. Thank you for helping me get back into writing again. Since my debut in the last contest, I’ve tried to write a bit each day and hone my skills. I appreciate all the info you provide on your websites, too…helpful and inspiring.
Thanks again,
Susie
It pays well and it isn’t too hard. Even if you’re used to writing for magazines, your skills are transferable to this type of work…

As the owner of WritersWeekly.com and BookLocker.com, writers and authors frequently add me to email notifications they send out when they update their website or blog. I’m happy to receive these and I often find interesting and intriguing tidbits in these individuals’ posts. Unfortunately, some of them have great blog posts or website articles but very boring email notifications so nobody opens them…
Thank you so much for sending the ($200) check so promptly. Placing in the WritersWeekly Spring ’13 24-Hour Short Story Contest was a thrill.
I really appreciate it and also appreciate what you do for writers in general through your website and newsletter.
Write on. Write on.

Success kept raising the bar for me. First, it was finishing a book. Then, it was getting a publisher. After that, it was getting the book into the bookstores, and keeping the book there for more than a year. Finally, it was about making even a few cents. Success did not come easily…
We were SO EXCITED yesterday morning!! Max, Frank and I had reservations to go deep sea fishing. It was to be a six-hour trip that we hoped would fill the freezer. Yea!!
I checked the weather on Monday night. Uh oh…
