Contest news
On Wednesday I got the results of the flash fiction contest I had entered back in May.
I have to admit the results startled me. I had misread a previous e-mail telling me I was short listed. I assumed from this previous e-mail that I was in the top 25 and was just waiting for the contest results to see where I fell in the fifteen honorable mentions or in the top ten.
It turns out that my understanding of the contest was not accurate. While I did pass the first round of judging I was not in the top twenty five. Those in the top twenty five received notice on Wednesday and I did not.
I have to admit I am disappointed, it’s hard not to be. I am more disappointed because of my own misunderstanding then because I didn’t place. For the past month I have been waiting for the results assuming I was in the top 25. Only to discover I was never in the top 25. It was a bit of a let down.
However I am excited that I got past the first round of judging. And hey since the story is no longer in any type of competition I can share it with you here. I will be posting it soon.
Have a great day everyone.
