Another short story contest…
I recently submitted a short story on Accentuate Writers Forum again. I feel better about this entry than I did when I last submitted. I feel like I’m learning more every day on writing techniques.
I’m anxious to see how it goes this month. There is more competition and the prizes are higher. If I place in the top three I have a chance to be published in the anthology that is coming out next year. That’s a pretty big deal. I’ve never been published anywhere other than online.
I promised my father thirteen years ago that I would get something published. He knew it was my dream…is my dream. He didn’t want me to give that up.
I would love to be able to give him that.
The deadline for the contest is the 20th. If there are any writers reading this, check it out. There will be more contests this year, so sign up for the forum.
I’ll update how I did as soon as I find out. Wish me luck!

Hey, Susan! Congratulations on making the finals. Your story was great. Hopefully, we all won’t lose our sanity waiting for the announcement of the winners.
