updated 4/10/13: I got this wrong. I wasn’t actually rejected from the Fish Fiction Prize (announced Feb 1), but instead by the Fish Flash Fiction Prize (rejected 4/10/12). HOWEVER I did make the longlist. Woooo! First positive feedback I’ve had on my fiction for a long time.
(It was for “Broken Toys”)
This time it’s a competition that I entered last year. (Is that cheating?)
At any rate, the winners of the Fish Short Story contest came out and my name was, sadly, not on any of the lists. Ah well.
It’s a good reminder that I am not submitting stories nearly as often as I should. Committing to submitting is a way of encouraging myself to compete new stories, so I need to get on the job here.
Time to break out the Duotrope weekly email…
