I Won A Contest!!

I am not one to brag about myself. Really, I'm not! But i just had to share about this contest I entered not too long ago. Now, I have entered several contests and it pains me to say, I haven't won, but one. (This makes my second) Sad to say, the contest I did win did not result in anything.

BUT. I. Finally. Won! No one would believe this if I just told them about it, so PLEASE check out the link. Then come back and tell me what you think. I am completely happy about winning. Go on. Go look:)

Writer In Motion CP feedback

Hey beautiful guys and dolls! Here it is! My CP feedback edited story. Had a hard time with this, but I hope it makes sense. I've got a post I'm working on I plan to put up after Thanksgiving. Here ya go. Enjoy... Every morning I wake to carnival day.  Today, though, I have my key. If I don’t use it before midnight, my way of escape will gone. It’s a silver key with a twisted metal handle, a sapphire stone half moon and engraved stars. There’s a tiny inscription on the moon, but it’s so small, I’ve never been able to read it.I’ve always kept mine in my jewelry box, but today, I string it on a ribbon and tie it around my neck.
