Attended the GWA Christmas party last night, where the awards for the monthly contests were given out. I got first place! Details of the stories I entered and the places I won are on my writing page. The award was cash - $50. The first money I have ever received for writing.
The tally for the year was first place - six times, third place - twice, fourth place - twice, and fifth place once. There were eleven contests, with no contest in December. Not bad for a year's work. I love these long projects, especially when I can look back and see actual progress.
The party was great. Laurie had a good time. I was my usual quiet, reserved self. Some things never change.
Now if I could just get a short story published. I think my New Year's resolution will be to work hard on that part of my writing.
