Thanks for letting me know about the Highlights content. I submit to them from time to time, so maybe I can come up with an idea by Jan. 31! And by the way: I'm in Cary, NC! Beauford is beautiful - wishing I was at the beach now...!

Best of luck with the Highlights contest, Lauren, and your novel, too. I saw on your blog that you had an acceptance from Highlights in December. That was a nice Christmas present!
