Yes I have the courage to let my words make a difference...

As you know I have entered the 3 Day Novel contest for 5 years - this will be my sixth year and again I am looking forward to the growth and challenge.

As if to support my decision, in today's mail I received an entry form and a hand written note from a person who shall remain nameless asking me if I had another one in me.

I do dear friend... I do, and thanks for asking. Thank you for remembering me year after year. I suspect it was you I got the unsigned note from a few years ago as well. I cannot tell you how much that one piece of paper inspired me and kept me going on the days when I wanted to throw it all away and put my pen down for good. I have that piece of paper along with everything that is important and dear to me. It encourages me when I think of how those few words of support make such a difference to me and it makes me wonder and believe how my own words on paper can make a difference to someone. I'm working on it... I have many left in me just dying to get out...

I can't wait to show you... and the rest of the world...
