Writing Mothers: Deadline Extended!
April 7, 2008 by Jen Schile
I was making the round of my favorite sites the other night. That round includes, of course, The Writer Mama blog. I was pleased by one of The Writer Mama’s latest posts, as it contained great news for us writing mothers who didn’t quite make the April 1, 2008, deadline on the Cup of Comfort for New Mothers submission:
The deadline has been extended to June 15, 2008!
That’s right: I said “us.” I didn’t make the original deadline, either.
The story was written in my mind, but…as will happen when you are the mother of a 2-year old, an 8-month old, have a husband home from sea, a young dog with cancer, and other deadlines to meet….the story got away from me.
(Did I already mention the excavator, the mini-excavator, the skid steer loader, and the dump truck in our driveway? That’s right–the basement project has finally begun).
Let’s forget our guilt about missing the first deadline and give it another go on the extension. What do you say?
