Well, the results are in and unfortunately I wasn't one of the top 16 who were chosen to go in the anthology. Congrats to all those who did though, esp my friends Jenn & Louise.
I was fairly pleased with how I went though. All entries were judged by 3 volunteer judges - I received 100% from 1 judge (who was a published author and contest winner, so stoked about that!), but 'only' received 82% from the other 2 judges, to give me an overall score of 88%. I was in the top half of the 82 entries (no 34).
A couple of the comments have left me a bit bemused, but others have been quite valuable. Its given me a push to start writing again. I haven't written since January - I'm blaming being busy but when I do have time I seem to procrastinate...
Anyway, not bad for my first competition!

Good one Kez, that's a great result! I'd rather see your work in the book, maybe next time. Congratulations to you and all who actually worked hard enough to enter the competition!
Well done, I think that's a great effort for your first comp. Writing is such a personal thing. What one person will love the next person will hate. I think you just need to be true to yourself but keep learning and trying new things.
Woo hoo, that is amazing. Congratulations.
:-)
That is still wonderful that you finished in the top half. Congratulations!
Thank you for your comment. It helps a lot to know others understand what I go through. Must try to remember to take care of ourselves, right? :o)
Keep writing!
Peace and Laughter,
Cristina
