I'm a winner!

I've won a free picture book critique from an active group of writers whose website is called www.thewritemarbles.com. Thanks to my critique partner, Rachel, for letting me know about it! The free critique was inspiration enough for me to dust off an old, troubled manuscript called "The Ribbon Dance." It's been fun revising it. I've cut it by 400 words, eliminated two unnecessary characters, and generally focused it much better, so it feels more like a viable picture book now. I'll be ready to email it to the "Marbles" later today. How fun to get perspectives from a brand new set of writers!
