Congratulations to everyone moving on to round 3!!! I am super excited; I've been entering the short story competition since 2019 and I've never gotten past round 2, so I had zero expectations when the results came out! I had to double check what the word count is for this weekend LOL. 
Micro 100 2020: Downstream (5th overall)
Micro 250 2022: What We Lost in the Tide (9th overall)

Definitely thought I wasn't going to get through at all. I liked my characters and my overall story, just felt like I didn't have the time to explore them fully. I am completely shocked and humbled that I placed first in my group (43). So stoked to keep writing this weekend! Good luck everybody!

I didn't expect to move on and I did not. 
Congrats to those who did move on and good luck writing this weekend!

Cutting 1000 words? ouch. I was trimming the fat as I went today, and thankfully came in under, with about 40 word buffer for rereading and edits tomorrow!
Everything has a story.
