Lady ..... you have talent. I'm told that submitting stories for publication can be a soul destroying business but don't you ever give up. If you can bring a tear to the eye and a lump in the throat of this ol' codger .... you're good.
Frank, I thought I recognized the hand but wasn't sure until I saw the first reply. The "Poster" is "ItsmeCindi". I guess she was a regular here on TBN until they started Country by net. Now she is over there. If you haven't visited that site you should and while you are there, look in the homesteading section for dozens of posts by Cindi.
Great writing. Have you submitted to GreenPrints ? It's a nice little magazine mostly garden focused but with lots of good writing of all types. I think this would fit right in. Good Luck!
I was pretty sure it was Cindi. I have seen a couple of her things on this board before and always enjoyed them. I knew she hadn't been very active for a while but I didn't realize she had abandoned us for Countrybynet. I swing by there occasionally. I'll check for some more of her stories when I do.
