(Author's note)

I am pleased to announce that my story, Childhood Journals, has been nominated for the 2015 TMNT Fanfiction Competition! I am so excited! I can't believe that you guys like this, but I am pleased as punch to have written something others think is good enough to take notice of. I am both honored and humbled. I don't expect to win. But being nominated for the first time ever for something like this is in itself a win for a noob writer like me. Let me know if you think this is good, and if it is good enough to continue. I got some more material. I only need to carve time to type it up and clean it up.
Thank you again! I'm so happy!
