A “GLOW”-ing Commendation

Over the course of the past year, I’ve entered GLOW in a vari­ety of writ­ing con­tests.  Today, I finally won one.

Also awe­some: the judges (all pub­lished writ­ers) had some super nice things to say about GLOW:

We are pleased to announce the win­ner of the SciFi/Fantasy/Horror cat­e­gory of our OUT OF THE SLUSH PILE, Novel Journey’s Fif­teen Min­utes of Fame Contest.

We’re also pleased that every­one liked the same entry best, so there was no need for bloodshed. The judges agreed the writ­ing is tight and moves the story for­ward, and the char­ac­ters are real­is­tic and have depth. All things con­sid­ered, it’s a strong, com­pelling story.

It’s things like this that really make my day!

  1. Con­grat­u­la­tions, Mar­cyKate! How fun for you. Missed you at the chat last week, and last night I checked in at about 10:15 my time but no one was there. You and horselover had already been there, but no one else. I think we’ll be back on track with it next week.

    I have an award on my blog for you, so come on over and get it! :)

  2. Hi, MK — It’s me again. I have ANOTHER award for you over on my blog, but this one is a lot more fun than the last one. :) (July 13 post, if you don’t read this for awhile.)

  3. This is so awe­some Marcy Kate! Wow, what won­der­ful feed­back. I’d be turn­ing cart­wheels too. That’s fan­tas­tic!
