Also, writing progress
So today I mailed off my three entries to that writing contest. It's the same one I entered last year and got to "finalist" status.
I'm not totally sure this year's offerings are actually any better, although overall I think I have made progress in my writing over the past year.
Well, we'll see.
Two of my entries wanted to be longer stories and I cut them forcibly to get to the 3500-word limit. So if I cut too much, then they won't make sense. And I didn't have time to get the cut versions thoroughly critted by my crit buddies. So, hm, I don't know.
The other was a piece of flash fiction of only 700 words. I'm never sure if my flash-fic is densely-packed enough. Sometimes it strikes me as just too glib or simplistic. So I dunno.
Welp, just have to wait and see.
