I recently won an award of merit for one of my newsletters, and I must say, it is gonna feel really nice adding that award to my resume.

I nominated the newsletter because I was encouraged to do so by others who believed in my work, but I really don’t know that I would have nominated the publication on my own had I not had that support.

And that is just silly.

If you want to be an award-winning _____, you are going to have to start winning stuff!

This week: dig around, find the groups in your town that honor your craft, and submit your work.

I’m telling ya – coming in second place has never felt so fine
