Sunflower's "On Our Own"

Writer's Digest Contest Entry

I selected a chapter from my working novel, "A Cultural Crevice," and set to editing it so that it was a story that mdae sense by itself. The process took about two weeks, but I thought, in plannin, that it would take me two days. Luckily I had two weeks. I sumbitted the manuscript in the US mail one day before the deadline.

I received by postard back, saying that the manuscript had been received. They woin't announce their winners until October 17. Need to keep my fingers crossed, and say lots of prayers. They acknowledge the topp 100 in each category. I also submitted a short poem, and with the passage of time, I've forgotten which one it was! Better to write sooner than later. First lesson learned.
