Wow! I can't believe it -- Something I wrote won a contest!
My 50-word story, "A Trashy Story" was selected as one of the three winners at the GeekingOutAbout 50-word story contest! Awesome!!!
While I didn't win the grand prize, I am still amazed and very honored to have had something I wrote be selected. Also, technically, this qualifies as my first-ever 'published' piece, since someone other than me had to accept it and then post it or put it in print. So a two-fer of awesomeness!
There may not have been a huge amount of entries ("over 25"), but I think the ones they selected to post show tremendous talent, and I'm extremely flattered to have one of my stories chosen from among them.

Congrats, Chris -- and nice work. Let's hear it for Teddy!
Thanks, Milo!
They passed on the ones about the zombie and the alien invasion, but the teddy-bear story made it through! I guess I have a mushy soft side, too... ;^)
I'm pretty excited -- it's the first thing I've ever had win or accepted or 'published' in any way.
Chris, that is absolutely great news!! Very very happy for you! WAY TO GO :)
Thanks Julia!
It might not quite be like making the New York Times best-seller list, but I think it's cool, and it's a start...
You're on the Write1Sub1 Hall of Fame, dude! Keep up the good work.
Congrats Chris! Your story was my fav!
@Milo: Thanks again! Truthfully, I probably would have never even entered if I hadn't joined the W1S1 challenge. I really appreciate your work in guiding that!
@D: Thank you very much -- that's very kind of you to say. I really appreciate it!
