The fiction contest being held at The Clarity of Night, mentioned earlier, has now finished.

I had no idea the contest would grow to be so large. Over eighty people submitted entries, and I was really surprised by the quality of their work. Everyone was commenting on each other’s pieces, and it turned into a cool little writer’s community.

My entry didn’t place, but it did receive an honourable mention, which I suppose means I just missed out. I’m quite happy with that, after reading the rest of the entries. Overall, it was a positive experience. There were a lot of inspiring pieces, and people left quite a few encouraging comments on mine.

I’m going to keep my eye out for other contests. It’s a nice way to experiment with some shorter fiction.
