Third place!

My short story, "Moon Mad," took third place in the PARSEC Short Story Contest. Just got the mail, and I'm too giddy to concentrate at the moment, though I have much paying work to do. I'll admit to embarrassment at some of the things pointed out in the feedback. (However, the use of general fantasy tropes rather than a new world was a deliberate choice to showcase the appearance of the madness. Clearly, it didn't work as well as I'd hoped, but I have no regrets for the choice.)

Still, very, very happy right now!

Thanks. I'm rather pleased. :-)

You ever going to make it to another Tuesday get-together? (Next one: July 11)

Geef. Possibly. Life has been...exciting. And I haven't written a thing in far too long. But maybe it'll be motivation...

Exciting's good. Well, sometimes. Unless it's bad. And sometimes, it's just . . . Me? Rambling? Oh, maybe a touch. ;-) And New Orleans? That sounds so cool! (And I keep meaning to steal an icon or two and rotate them into my collection. Haven't yet, but I love the stars one and the horse/fire one both.)

Good luck finding the motivation!
