do I dare??

June 22nd, 2007 at 06:26 pm

Ale is forever asking me to make up stories for her at bedtime....a few months ago I saw an ad for a children's stories writing contest (Charles Perrault children's literature contest), and I thought: I should write a story...then, just 2 days ago, I finally tried to put one of my stories in writing...it's basically the story of Kitty coming home...just using some of our "home names" for the characters...Ale is my Princea Pelipreciosa (a non-existent compound word that means she has beautiful hair!), and my niece is the Pink Princess...I'm still working on proper Queen names for sis and myself...although really, the story is mostly about Kitty and our Fiona (also called Fi, Fiffi, Firi and Fifirififi!)...so...now I'm letting it "sit" for a few days so I can look at it objectively and make changes...the deadline for submitting an entry to the contest is Sept 30, so I have time...the question is: will I dare enter the contest??

    Why would you "NOT DARE" to enter? The worse thing that can happen is what? Go for it!! Ale already thinks and knows you are a winner. Does anyone else really matter?
    You already won!!!

    Of course!

    You can't win if you don't enter. And it if you do enter, you just *might* win.

    It's a "No Lose" situation!

    I hope you do enter...will be a wonderful thing to show Ale when she is older your transcript whether it wins or not.
