"Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart." ~William Wordsworth

I need good vibes and prayers!

While I was perusing my latest copy of Better Homes and Gardens I found a little blurb at the bottom corner of a page. It announced the request for any and all recipes for pies, for a special piece they'll be doing in the Fall.

When I was in college we were assigned a paper, in which we were to chose an article we liked and emulate the style etc: I chose an article from BHG. The title of my article was "From the Orchard to the Oven: The Pie in American society".

I've said it before that I would love to get at least one of my articles published, and to be in BHG would be a dream come true: Beyond a dream, I would be floating on cloud 9 for weeks. I know the blurb requested recipes and made no mention of articles, but I figure what do I have to lose: A few hours of editing and a stamp? It would be well worth it to see my name in the by-lines of BHG.

I only have a day to get it rewritten and ready to mail out: They have to be mailed by May 1st.

Wish me luck and say a prayer for me :-)
