The Thousand Islands Writer’s Festival will be sponsoring a short story contest as part of their event line-up for the 2011 TIWF Festival. This will be the 1st Storefront Writing Contest held in Brockville Ontario, August 27th. Today, my friend Melanie and I met with Doreen Barnes at Echo Clothing, King Street, Brockville (one of the participating stores). Doreen is a freelance writer/photographer for the EMC Brockville and she was photographing us for her press release regarding the contest. What fun to be invited to a ‘photo-op’ ! Melanie and I rounded out the day with lunch at a local pub and an hour or so of writing. I swear we may be becoming a fixture at the 1000 Islands Mall food court.

Welcome to my online home. Life is short and I think it's important to enjoy each day that we have. Here, I try to share little bits of things that I enjoy, things that make me happy and make me smile. I don't update this blog as often as I should.. but sometimes there are little bits of joy that I like to talk about. I have a follow widget on here.. follow along if you like. 
Great pic! It looks like you two had fun. I’ve marked the date on my calendar as I am planning on participating as well.
It promises to be great fun. See you then!
