One of the very first pieces that I sold was a piece called “Ocean Glass”. It was the August 2008 Whidbey Island MFA Student Choice Award winner. (Long name, I know. That just makes it more awesome.) Now it’s exactly a year later, and guess what?? I’m now the August 2009 WIMFASCA winner with a piece called “Water Boy”. Because apparently I have a thing with boys and water. No surprises there.
I think that I’ve come a long way in a year. I learned more about markets and submitting. I wrote, edited, and am shopping around a new novel. It’s been a productive year, and I really enjoyed it. Rock on!!
So hooray! You can read “Water Boy” here.
And I need to check out whether or not contests qualify for HWA. So…possibly?

Beautiful tale deftly told. Your voice is incredible.
Beautiful.
Here’s to another successful year, then… (raises glass)
What a lovely, strange little story! Congrats on the award–you deserved it. 🙂
Thanks, you guys! I’m really excited. Now I’m in their archives twice.
Seven, it’s especially nice to see you here! 😀
Wonderful story, I especially liked the onyx egg.
Congrats! I think contests do qualify, but I’d have to look it up! Nice work. Won’t stave off the inevitable, though. But congrats!
