I WON
I won, I won, I won… oh and did I mention I won?
What you ask did I win? I won the Surrey International Writers Conference Storyteller’s award.
Yup, that’s right. That contest I posted about way back in July – I won it.
Right now at this moment I am so in awe I can hardly describe what I feel. It is so amazing to know that people are reading and enjoying my story. Enough to give it an award.
Wanna see..
There a four categories: Writing for Young People, Non-Fiction, Poetry, and The Storyteller’s Award (fiction). They had a group especially donate this engraving just for the Storytellers award, and I won it!!!! How cool is that! I was the only one of the winners to get this crystal engraving!!!
The story “A decade of Scottsdale” will be available for sale online after the conference. It ends Sunday and I will post a link to where you can buy it as soon as it is up.
Outside of that the conference is going great. I have learned a tremendous amount and I got to meet an author I really like. I will post more when I am not so tired, but now I need to rest so I can be awake for another day of conferencing tomorrow.
Good night all.

Yeah, she’s too modest to say this, but this is what one of the judges said and is printed in the published work:
“Beautifully-constructed, imaginative, and moving, as well as thought-provoking.”
That is a quote from Diana Gabaldon who has written like a small library.
The other judge, Jack Whytealso had an amazing kind and cool things to say as they presented the ward to her….way to go Chrsitine!
