Congratulations!  

My first time here too, and I am surprised that I placed. Fifteenth in group 32. I’m thrilled and excited for the next challenge.

It was fun and this is shaping up to be all I had hoped for.  I love the supportive forum and look forward to reading others' work.



I remember my first contest here, anywhere actually, I got ghost story.
I had never even considered a ghost story and I was lost, lol. My brain
just could not get it wrapped around it, finally came up with something 
in the last 24 hours and managed to submit. I got an honorable mention
out of it, and that was it, addicted! Sure gives you a great feeling of 
accomplishment, eh. I had not joined the forums at that time so did not
partake in the good part. The best part is the tackling of bad prompts gets 
easier with every contest as NYCM completes the changing of your brain 
chemistry in their quest for world domination!

PS my first was in short story

I have been unfortunate to post my work on sites only to find out they were a scam taking my money and never ever considering my work. I’m hoping this to be my first real competition as I hope to put myself out there and learn to love my craft and all the replies I get back. Here is to more writing fun. More creation in the making.
