Well, this week I actually did it.  I submitted pictures to every open JPG theme, even the weekly photo challenge.  This felt good.  A few people added my photos to their favorites and a couple more began watching me in their contacts.  Suddenly, I'm on a roll. 

Slightly less exciting was the fact that my main computer is broken, leaving me temporarily without most of my full-size versions of images.  This made for a big disappointment after I paid for entries to the annual Photographer's Forum spring contest only to find I lacked images with acceptable pixel dimensions.

All in all, though, it has been a good week.  The photo challenge was fun because it was a "camera toss" assignment, which I had toyed with before but never really gotten into.  I came out with many uninspiring images and a few good ones.  Some of the most fun for me were the ones showing my blurred arms reaching up to catch the camera, a happy accident I hoped was somewhat unique.  It wasn't.  There were so many outstretched arms I couldn't bear to enter mine, so I instead entered an abstract image.  I don't remember what it was originally, but I liked the simplicity and mystery of it: click here for the image (still working out some kinks with inserting images into entries, so I'd prefer to keep it to a minimum for now).
