Sometimes I feel as though I am delusional. I believe in goodness in a world filled with bad things. I believe in miracles. I believe in kids and I believe in family even when they disappoint. And for more than forty years, I believed a big fat lie about myself ...which aided me in developing my freelance writing career.
My Big Fat Delsuion was accepted for Chicken Soup for the Soul Power of Positive. I hope it makes the final cut, because one of my critique partners has also had a story accepted.
I live in St. Louis, MO, but my heart and soul hang out at the beach. I am a multi-genre, award winning writer and member of St. Louis Writer's Guild. I am a seasoned pre-k teacher, wife, mother, Nana to nine. Hopefully, something I say will make you smile, further your writing career or inspire you to write from the heart too.

So happy for you, congratulations!
Now I'm wondering why that big fat lie was?! Hope the story gets accepted!
Good Luck on a chance at new CSS success.

Are you going to make us buy the book to find out what silly idea was in your head for that long?
I bet you made the cut!
Congratulations, Linda. And Val is right. With your track record, I'm sure you're a shoe-in.
Hope you get accepted too! You aren't delusional; you have a great outlook on life!
Happy Mother's Day weekend!
Ohhhh, that's GREAT, Linda. I hope it makes the final cut, too. Sounds interesting. Have a super weekend. Susan
