| Share what's happening with me? Okay! Here goes: Some ANONYMOUS participant on the site nominated my short story for the Quill Awards. And I have no way to thank them! 
 This is such an honor. I originally wrote this story for "The Lodestar Contest"  and then it won Third in the "Twisted Tales Contest"  , all the while being a story that I feel pretty good about. Whoever you are, thank you for this. It truly lifts my spirits and reminds me that I, too, can submit nominations.

| I just submitted "Etched in Stone"  to the Magic Words Contest. I hate that I put off writing out the story for so long (because I've left little time for public critique), but I feel pretty good about it. I don't think I've ever entered that particular contest. I'm excited about it  |
