It's been a month since I posted last. The good news is that I just began my second online writing workshop. I will be using this workshop to enter a short story contest for Writer's Digest. Below is my introductory post to the discussion board for our first lesson.
----
I am a 31-year-old married man who works for a large Global consumer products company in the Chicago area. My two biggest passions are running marathons and trying to tap into my writing soul.
My major writing goal for this year is to complete NaNoWriMo in November, a feat that scares me far more than running 26.2 miles (see www.nanowrimo.org for details).
My story idea is for a contest submission that is due to Writer’s Journal by June 20. The main rule of the contest is that the short story must begin with the words "They could see..." Here is a single-sentence description:
A 12-year-old boy and his younger sister are stranded in a roadside car wreck during a Minnesota snowstorm with their father who has suffered a stroke.
