You raise a good point, Goldie. It's something to consider. But let me say in all honesty, the three judges I go to certainly don't have outside influence (or a dog in the fight) but are truly qualified as writers and readers to judge. I believe they are earnestly respected and have my huge appreciation. It maybe that what you say, Goldie, is on other people's minds, and I will respect that. This challenge is not really so serious. It is fun, and I hope creates an interest to write something outside of themselves, to dig deep. I greatly appreciate you, Goldie. Thanks, luv. 🌺💜
