Meet Sue and Join The Sue Vincent Rodeo Classic
I’m happy to announce an exciting event in this blogging family. We gather around to cheer and support one of our own – Sue Vincent.
Sue is living in the south of England. She is a poet, a commissioned painter, an accomplished writer, and a director of the Silent Eye, a modern mystery School. She is a supper-supportive blogger at Sue Vincent’s Daily Echo where she hosts the weekly #WritePhoto challenge and posts all the works from the participants, and writes #Midnighthaiku. She invites bloggers to guest post on her “Be My Guest.” Click any link to find more about Sue or participate in her #WritePhoto at https://scvincent.com/2021/01/28/thursday-photo-prompt-guarded-writephoto, or read her #midnighthaiku at https://scvincent.com/2021/01/29/gifts-midnighthaiku-5.
I love landscape painting and chose this as Sue’s sample paintings.
Sue has been a caretaker of her son for 11+ years since he suffered from the traumatized attack. Besides the challenge, she was diagnosed with lung cancer. This is the time she would appreciate the support when she can’t run full speed because of the side effect and the exhaustion from the treatment, plus the impact from the Covid pandemic.
Carrot Rach has created a Rodeo Classic to orchestrate the support event. It calls for a 99-words flash fiction contest. To take part, you write a flash fiction story of 99 words or a poem of 99 syllables, using the photo prompt at Carrot Ranch to find the “Hidden” Inspiration, and enter the contest using a form on the post, then you’d be invited take part in a small donation to support Sue.
“Each story needs to have a beginning, middle and end. Poems must have distinctive theme, movement, and rhythm; no rhyme scheme is necessary, but neither will rhyme be punished…” – H.R.R.
There is a $100 grand prize and five runners up will each receive one paperback from Sue’s collection of published books (those who live in a region where the paperback is unavailable may receive an e-Book instead).
The contest will close at midnight on Friday, February 19, 2021. Winning entries will be announced and read at CarrotRanch.com/blog on March 22, 2021.
I hope you would participate and enjoy the fun!

The Showers of Blessings 
Hi Miriam. As I am not a writer I do not follow most of those who follow you, and that includes Sue Vincent. but your post made me curious and I read several of her posts about her situation. It seems she has had WAY more than her share of terrible news and yet she continues to write, paint and blog as well as care for herself and I suppose her son as well. Thank you so much for sharing this, it is much appreciated.

I appreciated your reading of this post and several of her posts. She seems to live a life larger than herself. She only wrote several posts about her son’s incident and mentioned a little bit about her cancer. I had to ask her questions to find out how she was doing.

She seems to be quite a fighter Miriam. I hope she finds herself far outliving their predictions.
