Got the second round results from my Flash Fiction Challenge last night over at NYC Midnight.
My second story, Dogs Don't Make Plans, received 10 points! Not bad considering it was written two days after my second dose of chemo! (Possible side effects may include nausea, fatigue, hair loss and improved writing skills.)
I'm pretty darn excited about this. Not only did I move up seven places from Round 1, I finished in 6th place for Round 2 and in 11th overall. I didn't make the top five, so the contest is over for me for this year, but it was a fantastic experience and I totally plan to do it again next time.
Two great things came out of this little adventure.
The first was the opportunity to receive feedback from and to communicate with a plethora of talented writers from all over the world.
The second is now I have two new short, unique and diverse writing samples that I didn't have two months ago. As they say, I may not be there yet, but I'm closer than I was yesterday!
