Sorry I’ve been a bad blogger of late, folks. I’ll whip something up soon.

At any rate, I wanted to share my little bit of news: check out this list of this quarter’s Honorable Mentions in the Writers of the Future Contest. Oh, okay, it’s a long list, I won’t make you search. I’m on there.

I was finally convinced to try sending to WotF for the first time this quarter — I’m still eligible because I’ve only had one pro sale. When I decided to start entering, there were only a few days left before the deadline, so I sent in a fabulist short story from my thesis even though I wasn’t sure it was a great fit for the contest. But it got an Honorable Mention, so I think that constitutes ‘encouragement’. I feel encouraged, at any rate!
