I know what you’re thinking. This blog is nebulous no more. It’s hastily becoming crystal clear that Hazy is hog-tied by the harrows of her habitat. She seems to be engulfed in the epic endeavors that go along with, well, existing.
You’re only half right. Yes, it’s true. I have found comfort in crafting cunning (at least I think so) tales of ballsy baristas, bereaved bowsers and bursting brains, but I’ve also been writing. Not dysentery dribble, but writing, making things up out of thin air, fabricating fairy tales, staging stories…working my Wonder Woman.
And, I have proof. The other day, after reading through a bunch my past blogs and realizing that most things I write are…for lack of a softer adjective…shite, I received an email telling me that I’ve made it through the first round of judging in another writing contest.
Sometimes I do believe in that higher power. The one that looks out to the turbulent waters, sees you’re drowning and tosses you a floatie in the form of a new follower, a generous comment or sometimes, a glimmer of those very specific affirmations we writers inadvertently crave ~ conspicuous creds.
While I’d love to share the black and white of it all, certain contests forbid submission of works that have been published in any way, including via personal blogs. Makes a blogger feel important, doesn’t it?
So, in the meantime, let’s talk about how much cream cheese I found when cleaning out my far-too-long forgotten fridge.
At least it was light cheese. Congratulations on getting through to the next round of the competition. Are you going to post your story?

Yeah, it is a good thing. Full fat would be more than a little indulgent considering all the time I spend on my butt writing! Ha ha!
Yes, I’m sure I’ll post it one day. We’ll see what happens with it…
Thanks for visiting and commenting!

You’re brave to show your fridge. I think it looks rather neat, if not redundant! Congrats on making the cut in the next round. You’re right about those random tidbits that come our way to keep us going.
