Aaaand I'm in!

I've known this for a week, but it's now official, I'm a finalist in the first quarter of the Writers of the Future Contest. What does this mean? Me and eight other finalists from around the world, (mostly California and Australia from the looks of it), have a chance to win 1st, 2nd, or 3rd and all the good things that go with it.

And if I don't win? The story still might get picked as a Published Finalist, meaning the anthology needs some extra stories to fill out. This is how I won in Writers of the Future XXI. This is by no means guaranteed. The finalist pool is huge, and sometimes the anthology just doesn't have the room. Besides, call me greedy, but I'd rather win.

Wish me luck.
