Ooo, the pretty! Let me show you it!

mood: pleased pleased
The lovely and talented and soon to be Tor-published author stillnotbored (aka Jaime Lee Moyer) has been holding monthly contests where she invites folks to take an orphaned first line of hers and write the first paragraph of a story or the first stanza of a poem. I entered the last one in a moment of procrastination and was thusly rewarded for my procrastination by actually winning. Sometime soon, possibly after I finish up with a rewrite request I'm working on, I will turn my first paragraph into a full-fledged story. The darn thing has been niggling at me, though I have no idea what the heck it wants to be yet. But in the meantime, my shiny pretty fantasy map pendant prize showed up today:



Thanks for the shiny pretty, Jaime!

I'm thrilled it got there okay. Also...it looks so blue in that picture! I didn't think it was so totally blue. *g*

I think using the enhance option in iPhoto to brighten the picture up some made it a lot bluer. But the real life version is still pretty, even if not quite so blue. :)

Even better, I found that it goes great with a pair of earrings I have.

I saw your paragraph and thought it was wonderful and totally deserving of the win, and yes, it definitely could be expanded into a full story. Congratulations! That pendant is beautiful. :)
