The pieces are finally starting to fall into place, and the finish line is within site. World Domination Cat has nothing on me! Since I’m thrilled that The Year is Now is almost here, I decided to throw a contest with awesome prizes! The winners will be revealed when I release the cover!
“That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” – Neil Armstrong, 21 July 1969.
I want you to create something based on that epic quote. The universe is the limit. If you knit, let those needles take off! Draw? Awesome; I want to see it! Can you sew? Make a wreath? A diorama? Dress your pet up? Make a meme? Do it!
