The news was posted today.  I am one of 7 finalists.  Well really one of 6- one person entered twice and both stories were picked.  Over achiever! hehe

I am very shocked because, quite frankly, some of those stories were really good.  Professional writer good.  So even if I don’t win I will be happy having made it to the finalists.  but, I really want to win.

I could never make it on one of those awards shows.  Anyone see the Friends episode where Joey is up for a daytime Emmy and he loses?  He had been practicing his losing face all week but come crunch time he just has a fit.  He is cussing and all ticked off and the camera catches his temper tantrum.  It is too funny!  That would be me.  Thank God there isn’t video on this laptop!

I especially want to thank my fellow writer and good friend Susan Sosbe.  Her edits really helped me with my story. She very gently pointed out when the story didn’t make sense.  Please give her some link love people…Susan’s AC page and click on the Blonder by the Moment link.  She has a gift for comedy, and has one the 1st official AC April Fools challenge with her Smoking diary of a quitter.
