Checked Off or Continuing On

So far I have completed the following on my list:

#'s 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7

Ongoing:

#1, 2, 3, 6, 7

Questions: can I write about anywhere USA in the NoVa area? How make it fresh and real? How many more interuptions will I have this week?

Will I ever be published? Will I ever be in the winner's circle? Will other writers respect me? Ask me to join their groups? How will I fit in?

I feel like such an odd ball out here.

But that's the story of my life.
