NOTE: Don't you love these commercial contests? Some scoff at them, but I think they are fun. They pay great prizes, and they cover topics that are open to grand ideas. Not to mention winning one of these opportunities make for a fantastic clip in your portfolio.
DOUBLE NOTE: I'm stuck on my book's plot. Mired up to my hip boots in ideas that don't lead to a good conclusion in the novel. Went to sleep playing options - fell asleep without a clue. It's going to take me sitting someplace with pen and paper, no computer, and make it happen - not getting up until the idea gels. Touch love for my writing muse.
