Today's mail
Hey! Guess what came in today's mail?
If you guessed "Kelly's check for $100 for taking Third Place in the Writer's Digest Poetry Contest", then you are 100% correct!+
*does a little happy dance*
It's the prize that keeps on giving. First I got a certificate suitable for framing, then a copy of the 2010 Poet's Market book, and now a check - and in August, I get my name in print inside Writer's Digest magazine. *sings "Everything's Coming Up Roses" in Ethel Merman voice - and those of you who know me well know I have a good Ethel Merman imitation on this one*
+ Of course, if you guessed "junk mail" and/or "bills" you are also correct. They are not, however, exciting.
