Hello Austin,
I am so sorry to read and respond to your message today. I did not get a notification in my email and only noticed your message today.
Firstly, I offer you my sincere condolences and deepest sympathies on the loss of your soon to be wife.
Secondy, I am so sorry to know that you could not participate in the poetry contest. I have added you as writer to Zen Poetry.
I offer you my apologies on not responding to you sooner. I wish you well on all your literary endeavours. Yes, writing is a wonderful tool in the healing and the creative process. Never give up on writing. Every experience that we have in life, does help in enriching the quality of our writings.
You are welcome to enter the February prompt contests.
Zen Wishes to you
Warren
