Do I have a thrill for you!?

I have recently undertaken something different than I am used to.  I kind of like what it's doing to me.  (chuckle)  I get a sort of high out of being challenged in new things, and this certainly falls into that criteria.  What is this new "thing" that I am referring to?  (Deep breath)  Can you handle it?  I know that you are all used to me writing children's stories, and I do intend on continueing to do so.  However, I am also exploring the wierd and creepy world of writing short story thrillers! 

WHAT?  You may ask in complete shock.  I know...I didn't think that I could commit to writing outside of my genre.  It has taught me many things though.  I am growing as a writer all the time.  Who says I should stick to one thing?  I have decided to enter a short story into a contest.  I am very excited about this opportunity.  Winning this contest could mean big things in store! 

Interesting factoid:  Roald Dahl is not only known for his amazing children's books.  He is also known for writing some adult stories as well.  Some that are quite spooky I may add. 

So you see, by trying this new genre out, I am forcing myself out of my comfort zone.  It's great!  I feel so fantastic about it.  My dear friends/family/supporters...I will keep you updated on this new journey of mine!
