And the truth--about how you were humbled--made this a powerful post. <br /><br />Hold onto the work you submitted. Find another place to submit. The Writer's Journal contest I won last year was with a story that didn't even place in a different contest. You're a terrific writer. You'll find the right home for your work.Lisa Ricard Clarohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05048410207952052295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8047934029762798489.post-60309876520347818322011-09-18T17:16:56.370-07:002011-09-18T17:16:56.370-07:00Congratulations on making Storm Country Anthology!...Congratulations on making Storm Country Anthology!!
