I must have not taken my vitamins…because I can’t find anywhere in this blog where I announced the details of the Writer Mamas (and Papas) “When writing and parenting collide” contest.
Did I announce it in my zine, but not in my blog??? Did I not announce it at all but just think that I did? I know not.
Seriously, am I on drugs or have I just been crazy-busy?
Never mind, I think I know the answer to that…and it’s not drugs.
And for those of you who were so wonderful as to participate (and I’ll have more to say to you later), I’m so sorry if I dropped the ball! That is what I call a big DOINK.
Here’s the scoop…
The winner of the Writer’s Digest Magazine contest, When Writing and Parenting Collide, will be announced in the October 2007 issue of Writer’s Digest Magazine.
FYI, those magazines come out waaaay before the cover date. I bet it will be on stands by mid-September, if not sooner. At least, that’s when I would watch for it.
Or, if you like, you can subscribe and be among the first to get it. And I’m not just saying that because I’m sure WD would love for me to say it (they would).
I’m saying it because it’s true.
So there it is. The scoop. Oh no, wait. There’s more.
Okay, so the winning essay will be published in Writer’s Digest, and the second and third place winners will be published right here in my blog.
I will post them on October 1st.
Exciting! I can’t wait. (And sorry again if I kept you hanging!)
I wish it was true that by subscribing we get WD before it hits the stands but that hasn’t happened with me.
I get it sooner by driving to the bookstore. Of course it costs more… in gas, time and money, but it’s worth it.
When I subscribe, I usually end up with 2 copies because I see it on the stands and can’t wait for it to come in the mail–a week or two later. This year I didn’t subscribe because I got mad about that.
Thanks so much, after looking at the original post I did see that you stated it would be announced in the October issue.
Can’t wait
