Writers of the Future Q1 2011 Results

I got a Silver Honorable Mention for my story. My first Silver HM, so that’s something I suppose. I figured this story was HM level sort of thing, so it did better than I expected. My story for Q2 is, I think, going to be a Semi-finalist. I believe it is really good, but it might have a flaw that won’t work for the contest. We’ll see.

I have a couple more neo-pro interviews to post this week so the blog won’t be totally neglected while I finish this novel. I’ve been reading books on writing and reading tons of short stories lately. I have all sorts of plans, but I’m torn between what to do and what order to do it in. We’ll see. I might be posting a revised writing schedule for the year here soon.

Writers of the Future Results Q4 2010

I got my 4th Quarter results for WotF.  Another Honorable Mention.  Not surprised at all really.  I didn’t think this story was finalist material, though I like it a lot and think it’s a good story.  But it is a very dark, somewhat strange fantasy story.

My story for Q1 is probably not a winner either, but truthfully on that one, I have no idea.  It’s totally different from what I usually write, so we’ll see.  I’m currently working on my Q2 story and think it has a ton of potential.  I just have to finish this novel first, then I’ll get the story done and mailed.

So that’s that for Q4.  Time to find another market and send the story back out.
