Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Gord!

I've entered in a writing contest called WPTCE Flash Fiction. I placed honorable mentions last year in the 4-6th grade bracket with a 500 word (Max words allowed) story that I made in a day without *Dramatic Gasp* Revision!

But this year is my year...I've spent 3 days tirelessly editing and revising my story. I've also moved up a bracket so I'm competing with High Schoolers. The big, mean ones too, Time for revenge!

Sincerely,

-J.R.-

Hi, JR,

Well, if it impressed you so much, chances are it will impress the judges, although you never know. The stuff I think is going to rock the critics sometimes gets ignored, while material that I just toss off wins acclaim.

Good luck. (I DID mention something once about your instincts as a writer! Do I know how to pick 'em, or what?) --G--
