And I’m a Finalist in Writers of the Future Q2, but not a Winner. Which is sad, but not heart-wrenching. I mean, I never expected to make it to Finalist (Woo-hoo!), but somehow my story did.
And yet, it would’ve been nice…
There is still a glimmering of hope, however. I’ve agreed to hold my story for possible inclusion as a “Published Finalist.” Which means that if they need more words to fill the anthology, my story can still be considered for it. So, actually, it’s not quite all over for me.
Good luck to the three Winners from this quarter! And to all the other Winners from the other quarters of Volume #33, as well as to the others vying for Published Finalist. It’s been an awesome ride with you all to this point.

Wow!!! Sorry to hear your story stopped at Finalist, though also excited to hear your story made it to Finalist! Crossing fingers that they choose it to publish!! You’ll let us know?
You better believe I will! There will be much squeeing and jumping and announcing if my story becomes a Punlished Finalist. 😀
