Forgive me for not posting congrats yesterday. I preach to everyone to not tie self-esteem to comp results and then I let it happen for the first time. My heart was tied to "Convergence" and thus broken, but I realize my heart in it didn't automatically make it great writing. I appreciate it being published.

I congratulate the podium ... Tams, Welshdreamer42, Mendalla, Paperboy, AnnaMayZing, and RedWriter ... many whom occupied the podium on multiple comps! Well done! Congrats to the remarkable rest of Top Tens!

I was also happy for first-timers, TheShyThespian and Fluttered, making Top Ten in the 2 crowded comps.

Thanks for putting on this comp and to the mods who published my entries.


Don't be downhearted, Kimmi. We all have our hearts tied strongly to what we do. Judging competitions involves many aspects, not least of which has got to be personal taste. Suppose a horror author entered a competition alongside a romance author and the judge was someone who was a great fan of Stephen King. If the Horror story won, that doesn't mean that the Romance story wasn't great.
Take a step back, feel a little sorry for yourself if you like, and then get down to more writing. I've been there, done that and got a hell of a lot of T-Shirts!

The trick is... DON'T GIVE UP!


Thanks! I changed my post. I wish to congratulate all the brilliant writers on this site!

Found a new friend at the bookshop this morning. A little green frog had slipped in between the cracks. Needless to say, I helped him find his way back to the marshes.
I am inspired by truth and friendship. I came to the shores of SS to write and share my style. Often my dark side wanders on paths that have no end. I take myself seriously and I don't play games. There are some really "good hearts" on SS and kind people.
This was really fun for me! It has taken me a minute to scrub my mind and write here, but I am really enjoying the challenge. I had written a 3-story children's series I may post here and see if readers like. It has been searching for a home for a couple of years. smile Best wishes to the entries in the 3 contests!
Welcome, Xander. In person, I feel awkward and shy too. Easier for me to express myself hiding behind an avatar! I hope you enjoy this site too!
