Well, it’s official - my (probably best) story is submitted for consideration for Glimmer Train’s Short Story Award for New Writers… EEK! It’s called “On His Shoulders,” and it’s a tale about the angel/devil voices that sit on our shoulders, nudging us in various directions. With my own slightly morbid twist, of course.

I’m insanely nervous and extremely proud of the piece and exceedingly antsy for October to come so I will know how the story fared. I could NOT have finished this one without the help of the world’s greatest writing buddy, the fabulous Tracy Brown (and her equally fabulous Gordon), or Rick The Husband or Geoff The Mentor from The Old Job, so thanks to all of them in advance.

Regardless of what happens, I feel pretty great about how this one turned out - can’t wait to see how it goes so I can share it with you! For now I can’t though, as in addition to being a contest submission it’s also the cornerstone piece in the WIP short-story collection… But trust me - it’s a doozy!
