OT: I got second place in WD's SciFi competition

I hope you don't mind my bragging, but I just got news that my short
story, Becoming Ishmael finished second in Writer's Digest SciFi short
story competition--Woohoo!! My first cash prize. I also get a promotion
in Writer's Digest magazine--will have to find out what that means--if
I can include my two novels as part of my bio.

I'm thrilled!!!

Fabulous. Joan, kudos!!!!

A friend of mine, a novelist, used to be one of their "mentors." Extra money (and fun, when the students were good). Check and see if they still have such a program active; you'd make a great mentor!

Many congratulations, Joan! I suppose your short story isn't on a Ricardian theme??? Perhaps you'd like to tell us what it's about, then you might attract some new readers!
Christmas greetings to everyone from Annette
