Ask Wendy-The Query Queen 
Hi, Wendy! Just found your blog here and saved it to my favorites! I’ve been so busy teaching writing to kids, that I sometimes forget to nurture my own creative side! Hopefully your blog will help me correct that and give me the nudge to prioritize my own creative efforts! Thanks!
Janet,
I know what you mean. And it’s especially hard to make excuses when we’re faced with FREE contests! ; )
Thank you for leaving a comment!
Best,
Wendy
