JANUARY CONTEST: The tracks in the snow were unlike anything Will had ever seen before.

Wow, thanks @deborah-Haagenson! I hope to win a contest one day, but I don't think I'm there yet. I always look at others' work and think "Wow! Now that's good!" But maybe that's the best way to go about the contests--just do our best work and stay curious. The contests are great motivators for improvement but honestly there is so much good work every month and it's fun to be in such an encouraging and motivating group!

@Braden-Hallett Love it! Especially the "inside joke" about the dog and how the whole thing is a loop. Those rocks look good enough to eat!

It also keeps bringing to mind of a space age version of The Little Prince. Different feel, but still a lot of similarities.

@Cat-De-Pillar before I read your post I'd guessed it was wuthering heights & Heathcliff, so great job! It would make a great book cover.

@LauraA I feel like being a part of this group is really helping me to improve. By looking at what's being done and what works, in my opinion anyway, is so valuable. Being one of the top 16 to me would be a huge milestone. I'm not expecting that yet this time, but I'll keep working at it. After that, with the round robin event, it's fun and valuable to hear what Will, Lee and Jake have to say, but no matter how good your piece is it might not make it through.

@sarahlash I really like how he is really up close to that giant foot.

[Heather Boyd]

@frita I think it would fit in nicely with a children's book style.

@demotlj that day would be a great day to look forward to
