Thanks for Joni over at The Writers of the Future contest; I now know that I’ve received my second Honorable Mention in a row. What does that mean? Not a lot really. Don’t get me wrong, it means that my story was in the top 50 or so out of thousands of entries but beyond that it doesn’t mean much. It does show a sign of consistency though and that is a good thing. I hope it is a trend that I can build upon.
I want to say congrats to everyone who received good news today about their story; specifically to Brad R. Torgersen who I am in a writers group with. He was a finalist last quarter! Hopefully one day I can claim the same.
If you don’t see your name up on the blog and you are still waiting, there are more Honorable Mentions coming so don’t lose hope yet!
I’m not keeping up with my goals as well as I would like but I’m writing which is more than I could say last month. Time to get back to the grindstone…
Hey dude!
Yah, after the first HM, the others aren’t as exciting.
And after getting Finalist, well… It’s nice being in the top drawer, but when the bar has been set high, not meeting the bar is a disappointment. No question.
I am glad it sounds like you’re getting back into the swing of things. I know you were punked out there for awhile. I hope the move is over? At least the bulk of it?
Good luck with Q3. I think you, me, Amanda, Laurie, we could use some.
=^)
Congratulations. Top 50 of 1000 + sounds pretty sweet to me.
Pretty good post. I just stumbled upon your blog and wanted to say
that I’ve really enjoyed reading your posts. In any case
I’ll be subscribing to your blog and I hope you write again soon!
Yeah, an HM is nothing to scoff at. Many people who submit for years never get one so it’s a sign that my writing is moving in the right direction.
Now to bring it to the next level. :)
