Like I said before, sometimes the universe, even if it’s just that little writing corner that you frequent, seems to instinctively know when you need a little oomph.
I’m sending out a quick Friday post to let you know the long-awaited results of that writing contest I mentioned a while back came in. I managed to sink my claws into the rallying rung above and somehow clutched runner-up this time.
Here is a link to my SHORT STORY.
I’m thrilled, but I’m sure I need not point out the pattern forming here and the expectation it lends. I’m really not that tall, so I hope to grow, only of course, to reach the next notch up. I’m quite happy with my height.
Congratulations Hazy, no surprise there (well perhaps only that yours wasn’t 1st place). Well done you!

Stunning story. I’ve said it before: you have a (rare) gift for conveying high-quality exposition with a beautiful conservation of words. Well done. 🙂

Well, the 750 word limit of the contest helps me conservation! LOL. I can tend to be quite wordy and descriptive. The flash fiction has been a really (really) good exercise for me in understanding what it necessary and what is simply indulgent.
Thank you for the props, Dex. I really appreciate your comment!
