Excited and proud
to be recognized by
Readers’ Favorite and Wind Dancer Films!

​
Still feeling numb here.  
I was catching up on emails after being off the grid on vacation
when the Readers’ Favorite announcement unexpectedly popped up on my screen.    
​
I’d been hopeful I might place in its book awards division ...

​,,, but I
never

expected the additional honor
​of being a finalist
in its Wind Dancer Films contest. 


​Couldn’t stop my hands from shaking all morning!  
Sweet Hub had to scrape me off the chandelier -:D

​For me, entering a writing contest 

is usually a last-minute decision
after an exhausting convo with myself.


 Confident Cat:      You should definitely enter your book.
 Scaredy-Cat:        I don’t know.  So many writers enter.  What chance would I have?
 CC:                            You won't even place if you do nothing.  What’s the problem?
 SC:                           Too many deadlines. No time to pull it together. Cost factors, too.
 CC:                            Prioritize and make it happen.  
 SC:                            Maybe I could try.
 CC & Yoda:             “No! Try not! Do or do not, there is no try.”



Sweet T and the Turtle Team​​
has scored 4 accolades to date
for
excellence in children’s literature.

 

It has taken me
4 books, 6 years, stacks of rejections,
and countless hours of ...

blogging
writing
editing
re-writing
marketing
wanting to quit
sleepless nights
and burning out more times than I care to admit

to reach this point.


For you, dreamers, lonely and toiling to away.
Wondering if anyone is paying attention
Ever noticing what you're doing....


Don't give up!
