Resulting in the Truth...


Well folks the waiting is over. The results are in for Cherie Reisch’s 2nd Annual Flash Fiction Contest. Congratulations to the winners:

        1st Place –  Scribbles from Jenn
        2ND Place – Medeia Sharif
        3rd Place –  Geek Banter

Cherie took down the Linky List, so you will have to go directly to the respective blogs to read the winning entries.

I had pretty much given up on the voting around noon on Saturday and being resolved to a solid fourth place, stopped checking back. This morning I was surprised to see that I had actually tied for third place but in a karmic –handwriting on the wall – kind of way, randon.org (the means Cherie used to break a tie) chose the other writer and their story.

It was an interesting exercise for me. One in which I actually learned a lot about myself and my writing. Funny, how some of these little things, can produce such big results. I want to thank Cherie and tell her how important this opportunity has been.


I also want to thank everyone for the kind comments and your votes. I'm truly not as SHAMELESS as stated in my last post. More like completely self-conscious. Nothing like a little self-deprecating humor to hide your insecurities.

  2. I would still consider coming in 3rd/4th out of 70+ entries still very respectable! You should look at this as a WIN! :)

    I really enjoyed your Flash Fiction and it got my vote, as you know.

    Hey, one mo' thang...

    I got the Emails you sent and saw the comment you submitted. I am composing an Email right now which I should be sending in no more than an hour. Hopefully your computer will be able to receive it because it explains a number of things you have been wondering about but which I was previously unable to divulge.

    Ahhh, the plot thickens (as the saying goes). Ha!

    Yak Soon...

  6. Your flash fiction piece was wonderful! I'm sorry it came down to the randomness of Random.org, but I had to stick by my own rules.

    I would like to offer a 10-page critique to you, though, for your third-place tie.

  10. I above everyone else here.....

    appreciates seeing your insecurities!!!

    Not what you expected me to say, huh?

    Not in an evil, glad you didn't win way, just always a good reminder to know you are human...not super women, or the easter bunny. Course, you are still the easter bunny..but that is another story all in all.
