(Hadn't previously thought of my own writing as fitting that ethos though - though of course not all story judges stick to their own kind of writing when judging!)Elizabeth Baineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193751871434773972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33010980.post-21113427523054666062008-08-07T21:30:00.000+01:002008-08-07T21:30:00.000+01:00Congratulations, great news!

Funnily enough, I sent in my most "traditional" story to that comp, nothing innovative or wierd at all, and it got nowhere - but it won two other prizes elsewhere. Just shows you...something. Well, that luckily, every judge likes something different. We reviewed the Carve comp judge <A HREF="http://www.theshortreview.com/reviews/ComeTogetherFallApart.htm" REL="nofollow">Cristina Henriquez's collection</A> on the Short Review, if you're interested to see what she writes. <BR/><BR/>Congratulations!!! I hope you have a wonderful Welsh celebration.Tania Hershmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15781460794034586895noreply@blogger.com
