Everyone I know has told me about the Amazon.com: Books / Books / PEN-Amazon.com Short Story Award. I guess that means I should enter.

Like anyone, I don't welcome defeat, that's why I've resisted entering many writing contests. No matter how good my stuff is, there's always someone better. I don't like being reminded of that.

Last September, I wrote a novel in 3 days for the Anvil Press contest. What do you know, I didn't win. Don't know if I'll do it again this year. I had to miss my anniversary (once again) and Bugorama to do it and of course I didn't win.
