Thank you! I wouldn’t have written a short story at all if it hadn’t been for the course, and now I’m looking at another couple of contests to try my luck further.

Hope all is well with you, Joe!

Sunny, it’s nice to hear from you and thanks for the kind words. I appreciate all the support you’ve given me so far and I’m looking forward to reading more of your work, too. Did you sign up again for the course? (I’m not sure I’ll be able to this time around but I’m still considering it.)

Chat soon, and please let me know what you’re working on.

  I’m going to participate in the course as much as possible. We’ll see!
  
  Not sure if you saw, but I self-published a children’s book on Amazon in March. If I ever get enough time to my thoughts, I’m going to begin on the second installment of that project. Also editing a YA novel. Lots of good things!
  
  Keep in touch, Lisa! Someday we’ll have to get together over a coffee.

Lisa, this is so awesome and inspiring. Congratulations and good luck with more stories!

I’ve been thinking about cleaning up a short story or two and trying a contest, but keep getting wrapped up in other projects.

Hi, Ann – it’s so nice to hear from you!

I would highly recommend sending stuff into contests, if for no other reason that it’s a process that has a defined timeline and perhaps even opportunities for feedback from a fresh set of eyes. Plus I’m one of those poor saps who craves validation; if you are, too, all the more reason to give it a shot.

I’m not in this round of the course, so let me know if I can help you offline with review or brainstorming; here’s to your future success!
