not giving up just yet

OK, OK, you've convinced me to not give up. Also, I'm not totally nuts, but maybe I'm a bit of a brat. No, you didn't say that, or even imply it, but I probably am. Rejection stings, and I know as a writer that there's more rejection than acceptance, but this was a bit of a different situation. Also, I went out and took a picture that I thought was what they were looking for, based on past winners. Oh, well.

This month's theme is 'toys,' and I have no idea what to do for this one. I took a couple shots of my robot and Tigger figures that I have here in my cubicle, but I didn't love them. I have some stuffed animals at home; maybe I can come up with something interesting with them. The point is to stretch oneself, right?

Ooh, good point! Too bad you have to take the pic this month, because I have some great classic car shots.

I'd say the point it to stretch oneself, sure—and maybe stretch the theme. For instance, things adult children play with. Or toy poodles. Or...
