RE: I won $75,000 for my writing!
Bless your big heart...
I’m still recovering from the shock & being contacted by other writers who have received a similar offer.
Asking myself, how to better shield our hearts against disappointment, by not trusting so blindly...
I think, very cynically, that you always have to believe it's NOT true at first, and then only 'check if maybe it is true anyway'. I have this mindset and it does help ;-) If it's too good to be true it probably isn't. But this scam you describe is nasty as it's so close to what you're working towards to - that makes it more believeable than a random 'you won the lottery!'...
You're right, of course. Sorry, just seeing this... Overcoming a flu and out-of-town house guest visiting. Meantime, I've managed to write a poem, to process this experience, and I hope to post it, here, soon.
Thanks, again, for your compassion & advice.
