So what is new with you on the writing scene? I started working on a short story for a contest that is due at the end of September. Unfortunately life intervenes and school has started which means I'm subbing again plus keeping up with the housework.

If you have an old story filed away in your computer's archives, pull it out. Try a rewrite. Submit it. You never know when something is going to catch a publisher's or agent's eye.

If you don't try, you won't fail. If you do try and fail, you successfully tried. Which is best?
