One of Those Days You Wish For

"Dear Spencer Ellsworth

You won the 2009 PARSEC Short Story Contest. The check for $200 was
mailed this morning.

please send an electronic copy of your story, The Worm Dieth Not, and
Their Fire is Not Quenched..."

Etc.

Happy happy happy

Joy joy joy

It will be printed in the CONfluence program book in Pittsburgh later this year.

[info]bravado111 was the one who encouraged me to enter, and to enter early. Thanks, John. And as usual, thanks to the really supportive readers and friends out there, especially Chrissy, Dad, Becca and Eric.

This story was a Writers of the Future finalist and got me into Western's Creative Writing program. Also, a very early draft of this story was the first thing that Chrissy read that I wrote. It's cool to see it find a home.

You're welcome. You know I charge for reading your stuff, right? You can pay me in chocolate cookies or $200.
