I was getting a contest entry ready [the deadline was June 15th and we know I most always send things out at the very end;-)] -- a contest entry that would have won had I not had to withdraw it due to a ugly mix-up that was not my fault.
Both judges, the publisher told me, thought my story was the best of those received. :( I had to forfeit $500 and a book deal.
When the list of winners arrived in the mail, I looked at XXXX's name and thought, "You didn't really win-- I did." Not that she cared--ha!
I have another kickass entry for this year's contest. It will go out on the 15th 'cause I'm consistent like that. This year I'm hoping to win AND claim the prize!
