Update March 23--forgot to do name change

First:
 I want to say that yeah, I got busy with stories and forgot to change the name here.


Second:
As anyone who has read these post knows, if you're new obviously you won't, I enter the Writers of the Future short story contest. There's a link to the side on this blog.  They have four contests each year, Quarters 1 through 4.

I entered Q1 which we just got back the results.

Because of an E-mail address change I didn't get a result. I sent them a note about it but I may have used the wrong E-mail address or it got lost in a clog of E-mails. So no notice.

They have Honorable Mentions--Sliver HMs--Semi-finalist--Finalist and First, second and third place winners. They announced the Finalists  which I am not one of. I don't know if they announce the Simi-s any place. So while possible I could have gotten one of the lower ratings I doubt it. It's my writing after all and no matter how hard I try I'm still stuck half way up a mountain.


Third:
I have received three other rejections this week--did get my second personal note from Fantasy and Science Fiction. About five years ago John Joseph Adams gave me a nice note. This time its' from Scot P. and Not So Much--
The MC is named Tony
"I doubt Tony expected the request to defeat an evil wizard after a fine bacon breakfast." 


Fourth:
Finally got started on revising my novels. Worked some on my Two Struggles still having problems with chapter two though. When do I put in info about the MC and where she lives, her background etc?
The NaNo or SC--Now titled "Second Career"-novel is going smooth but yet it will take longer than I had hoped if the rest of it is like the first chapter. 


Might be a PS later

  2. Thanks,

    and BTW I'm not sure how far down you have to scroll or if you feel like searching for it but I do talk more about those two novels in previous posts.

    But Two is finished and the first half has been critted by a couple of people...it is those crits I am working through now.
