Envy.....of ones own daughter

My daughter is going to be 'published'. BEFORE I get to have something published! I'm envious, but in a good way. I am very proud of her.

She wrote a poem late last year and entered it into a contest. She is a runner up and will be published in a book of all the contenders in the publication "A celebration of Young Poets." Maybe this will stir me on to continue and start submitting works of my own. Its easier to encourage others then it is to to find the guts to send off your own work and see what someone else thinks. But all the same I am envious :)
