*Shock* Did you get published?! *Delight* *Quill**RibbonB**Quill* Wow! you WON that contest? *Quill**RibbonV**Quill* I know how hard it is to land a literary agent, . . . and you DID it?! *Quill**RibbonO**Quill* *Gasp!* You earned what writing award? *Quill**RibbonY**Quill* It's just terrific that you got into that MFA in Writing program! *Quill**RibbonG**Quill* Did you really get a book deal?!!! *Quill**RibbonP**Quill*
Come on, spill it -- Don't hold back -- I want details!


Who says a brag is a bore? Not in this room! That's right. If you have something to boast about, you can do it here.*Wink* I want to live vicariously through you (and get inspired by your awesome-ness *Delight*). So yeah baby, if you won it, earned it, got it, published it, landed it, or were awarded it -- and 'it' has to do with *Writing*writing*Writing*, then you've got 'Bragging Rights' as far as I'm concerned! The room is filling up with interested people who want to hear all about it. Go ahead, get into the spotlight -- submit a Brag and tell us all about your writing success. You could win a merit badge!
