This last few weeks have been a roller coaster, with the high of winning second prize in the Rachel Funari Prize for Fiction and the downer of receiving a rejection for a manuscript submission. From the competition win, new pathways to publication are opening up, so that’s exciting. I didn’t advance in the NYC Midnight micro fiction contest, but I am in the throes of finishing an entry for the Scarlet Stiletto competition that I am enjoying writing.
Ups and downs.
Over the coming weekend, I’ll be taking part in the NYC Midnight Flash Fiction competition and have a writing buddy to help beta read my entry.
