Shit. Get this. I find this contest in my copy of Writer's Digest, right? Winner gets $2,500, plus a trip to New York to talk to an agent. First place in each category gets $1,000. Well, shit, I figure I'll try it -- I've got a good story I can submit. I'll find something else for the literary mag I want to submit to.
I can't find the disk with my story.
I know I had it last month. I know it was on the coputer desk at Dad's for a few weeks after that. And I know I grabbed it and took it SOMEWHERE. I just don't know exactly where.
I'm really hoping it's just at Mom's and I've been scatterbrained again and just left it on my desk instead of putting it in my bag. I really do. I mean, it's not just that I want to submit it; I LIKE that story. And if I don't find the disk, I'll have to retype it using my portfolio from Creative Writing class, which happens to be the only hard copy I have. And my teacher has that portfolio. So now I have to get that and my back issues of Writer's Digest that she borrowed.
