I am not sure what this means for me long term, but one thing is sure, you live through certain things that are painful and you come away appreciating things that perhaps had gone forgotten.Julie Crewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16903066305374334773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071530951319652632.post-12686394380933616492014-03-23T18:42:31.513-04:002014-03-23T18:42:31.513-04:00Christie, thank you for sharing!

One of them didn't actually use a number scale. It was from my local SCBWI contest and everyone who enters gets a simple rating sheet. There are about 7 different items listed: marketable, illustrateable, plot, etc. The judge can mark each item from a 1 to a 10. I averaged my score on that one and got a 7.<br /><br />I try to manage my writing and running. I'm trying really hard to make them not fight for my time and attention. Some days I write and some days I run. Ideally, I'd do both every day. The days I accomplish both, I consider myself blessed.Christie Wright Wildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13656162315858480593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1071530951319652632.post-83357455936813619022014-03-22T22:57:35.543-04:002014-03-22T22:57:35.543-04:00Thanks, Lauri!

Went to the chiropractor yesterday and today I was actually able to run a little, about a mile and half total of a 4-mile workout. Didn't revise my story, but later in the day was inspired with a brand new idea for a magazine article.
