Annie, it is a weirdness how some times we sweat and strain over a story that gets, at best, a good but not great reception. Then something we knock off while waiting on the water to boil wins accolades, blue ribbons, contests, and assorted 'Atta boys' from other writers.
Just more proof that the old flying fickle finger of fate works in strange and mysterious ways, imo.

Annie, sorry about your story. I understand the disappointment and hurt but as others have said,”Look at all Props you got from the Readers!”

I understand your disappointment. I thought your story was great! I'd chalk it up to their being so many entries this time around. But, it's hard to not get a nod when you've worked really hard on a story!
I'm in need of a major hit of caffeine!! Not sleeping well with hubby on the road again this week.
Hope all y'all are hanging in there!

Congrats on the engagement, Martin, and on approaching your MLC with a spirit of adventure and excitement! Good luck to you and Ines. I am sure you do not need it. Congrats on finishing the 60K words of En France.
And hey, Annie, sorry you felt your story was overlooked. I've been there too. Sometimes stories just don't catch the readers the way you'd like. Comes with the territory. You have a TON of readers who love you though.
Work is again annoying today. Gotta put my head down and get to it.
I'd love a köffee.
