Working, Working

Received some lovely encouragement yesterday on a submission that's out with Highlights. Got my fingers crossed that a contract will soon be in my mail box.

On my to-do list these days:
1. Finish up a non-fiction piece I'm working on, possibly for submission to the W.I.N. contest
2. Finish a short story for submission to Highlights
3. Finish up some poems I wrote specifically for the W.I.N. contest
4. Complete one of five picture book manuscripts I've been mulling over and get it subbed

Looks like the two middle-grade manuscripts I have going will be on the backburner for a while longer!
