Groundhog Day

With February 2nd rapidly approaching, people are beginning to get excited about the possibility of a shorter winter, especially with snow storms in the coming weeks.  This year, a preserved groundhog will be used since the usual one died last year and they have yet to find a replacement. This could be on the criteria it takes to find a new Punxsutawney Phil and why people are still excited to see a preserved groundhog.   There can be a history of how past Phil's were chosen and have a timeline. Who are the people that make this decision?  Where do these groundhogs come from? Do they think they'll have a real one next year? Has there ever been a fake one before?

This is the chance to jump on a new story with the change in tradition this year. A perfect opportunity for a different approach to a Groundhog Day story.

Credo

Stay true to yourself and your morals.  Stand behind everything you write and believe in.  Think about every decision you make; one mistake could change so much.  Trust your instincts.  At the end of the day, be proud of the hard work you've accomplished.
