Although I don’t consider myself a procrastinator, things just didn’t go my way leading up to today. I’ve been on vacation and juggling upcoming work, my writing side hustle, and actual vacation time with my husband.
FIVE writing pieces are due by midnight EST.
Four are personal essays for Medium’s Writing Challenge Contest. $50,000 is at stake, folks! Luckily, I got all four of my pieces submitted on time. Here they are, in case you’re curious:
I read several websites to raise my personal essay game. Although I don’t think my essays are good enough to win the top prizes (let’s be real – there will be 10,000+ submissions being evaluated), I did grow and learn a lot. I think the difference in quality in the 4 pieces above compared to my previous Medium stories is palpable. And that makes me happy!
In addition, Vocal’s summer fiction series challenges, run weekly, is now on #7 which has the title “long thaw”.

I submitted all FIVE pieces before the deadline tonight! Yay!
I’m going to take a short break from writing now… 😂
