I won an honorable mention in “Writers of the Future.” I will get a certificate by mail (and no, I don’t have to pay anything for that). Even though this isn’t publication, this counts as a writing credit suitable for query letters (so I’m told). Yay.

This is a question I struggle with from time to time. It seems the most natural lengths that come out of my pen are 70k words and 150k words. Grr. I made this table based on Ralan’s compilation of the … Continue reading
