Third Place!

i just got a call from Joni Labaqui at WOTF and I placed third in Writers of the Future 2006 Q4!

I was really really excited because I thought Joni said first place. I guess it was a case of hearing what you wanted. Anyway, I'm still really excited because this is also my first publication. Not only do I get some prize money, I should get paid at a really nice rate per word.

More once Arthur falls asleep for his nap.

Congrats, John! See you at the workshop! (Hm, 2 Wordos vs. 2 Torontonians...)

Thanks, everyone. I hadn't quite realized how many folks were following my little saga (and the doings of Mark and Arthur). I'll have to post more pictures; or maybe a video of me reading the part where Zaphod Beeblebrox survives the Total Perspective Vortex.
