A Winner is Me!

So, Boing Boing Gadgets recently held a “Gadget Fiction” contest where you were supposed to write a flash fiction story somehow pertaining to gadgets. Flash fiction is, for those who don’t know, generally around 1,000 words in length and designed to evoke a feeling rather than tell a complex story.

So, anyhow, I entered, and I won third place. For my efforts, I get a free copy of the game “Tetris Cube”! Plus, people who haven’t read my work before might see it and think better of me. That’s always a nice feeling.

I’m really stoked. Of course, I didn’t expect to win a thing — there were some really good writers competing. But it’s always nice to gain a little bit of recognition for doing something well!

Here’s a link to the story, as well as the others. Check it out!

    I read your story and enjoyed it. Thanks for writing it.
    I made a Word Cloud of the text using software at Wordle.net
    I tried to paste a .jpg here so you could see it but that did not work. I also have a .pdf of it but could not figure out how to attach it to this message.
    I guess if you want to see it, short of sending me your e-mail address, you can go to http://www.wordle.net/gallery?username=Kojaks43

    Thanks! I must admit that I don’t understand the purpose of making a word cloud for a story, but that software might come in handy for my other profession — marketing research.

    Congratulations! That’s exciting news. I’m sorry I couldn’t hear about it in person at Panera.
