My letter didn't mention the total number of entries this year but, according to their website there were 13,000+ entries in the contest last year, (for all ten categories). I'm guessing the Genre Short Story category would get its fair share so I estimated 1,300 entries. 88th out of 1,300 isn't so bad. If only they hadn't included that 'special edition' purchase offer. {grin}<br /><br />(Should I be crushed that you called me Liz?)Linda Leszczukhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15117080878321152684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1065790180838534134.post-67446791106079840422010-11-01T12:26:28.340-04:002010-11-01T12:26:28.340-04:00Thanks Dru - for the congrats, the good wishes, an...Thanks Dru - for the congrats, the good wishes, and your ongoing support.

Ref:...Thanks, Liz! I'm glad you like the blog.<br /><br />Ref: Writer's Digest contest.<br /><br />Read the letter again. I had an honorable mention too a few years back. At first I did what you did and said, 'meh'. <br /><br />But the letter I received said I was one of 18,000 entries. I don't remember where I placed, but 1 out of 18,000 is pretty darn good.<br /><br />Congratulations!Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1065790180838534134.post-69111259872146471292010-11-01T05:16:24.284-04:002010-11-01T05:16:24.284-04:00A woo hoo is a must.

I do think you have a lovely blog and I enjoy stopping by. Congrats to those you passed the award on to as well.<br /><br />Now for the entry in the Writer's Digest competition. My opinion - time to do the happy dance. You made the top 100 out of over 1,000 and it was her first time, WOW. I'd say a woo hoo is in order.<br /><br />Mason<br /><a href="http://www.masoncanyon.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Thoughts in Progress</a>Mason Canyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935307400882363560noreply@blogger.com
