I have not won a contest. I have not been writing query letters. I have been in a funk, and, no, I don’t mean a KC & the Sunshine Band “gettin’ down tonight” kind of funk. I haven’t even been writing. And that, childrens, makes me a cranky little ho.

So, the question becomes, should I just throw in the towel? Should I forfeit the victory to Team Tripe and be done with it? The answer? No! Hell no!

This player doesn’t fold. I’ve got a few more tricks up my sleeve. Beware, Team Tripe, my chips are all in and the odds are in my favor.
