Wow! 3 finalists from the forum for Q2! Way to go!!!

I think I'm in Wulf Moon's Fyrelite Online Master Class. I saw Wulf's recent facebook post that indicated one more seat remained and felt an impulsive tug. I got the following message: "Thank you for registering for Fyrecon 4. You will receive a confirmation and receipt email shortly. Sincerely...

Congrats to the HM's, Silver HM's, and semifinalists! I guess it's too early to hear from the finalists. Commiserations to the Rs, I know how you feel. I'm impressed by those of you who are being proactive instead of climbing under a rock for awhile (that's the way I responded at least for a while. ...

Submitted to Q3 June 24... Good luck to everyone!!!

I don't have an entry for Q2, but I'm super nervous for all of you! Good luck!!! I'm thinking you'll probably start getting results soon.

I'm in for Quarter 3.
My very best wishes to you all!

Thanks, I'm doing my best to hang on to my sanity and be productive. Tough, though. By the way, I'm rooting for you as I'm aware you've been a regular contest entrant for a long time now. I'm sure your time is coming soon! Good luck Dustin!

Hey... I have been hit with some pretty heavy personal life crap. I started out with all kinds of enthusiasm about entering Quarter 3 and 4 since I do get the summers off. HOWEVER... on my end things are spiraling out of control. First my Dad died and now my mom is in the hospital (advanced dementia...

Just finished the online workshop yesterday so I'm way behind on the assignments and challenges here. I had to skip some of the practicals [family issues; Mom with dementia], but intend to employ them to sharpen the story I began around the trapped in a box challenge from a while ago. I'm hoping to ...

Hi Guthington: Welcome to our group. I just wanted to say your curriculum vitae is MOST impressive. Most likely, you're a modest person, but when anyone holds TWO Master's Degrees - a Master of Arts, and a Master of Science, AND A DOCTORAL DEGREE, wow! I have no doubt your expertise in biology when...

Dear Amy (Guthington): Of course I know you...as soon as you said you were Amy Wethington. :) Please accept my condolences about your father, and about the additional stress of dealing with COVID-19 on top of that. I hope you and your sister can figure out a good plan to manage the care of your mot...

I've been a silent lurker for a while. So far I've only had rejected stories of those I've submitted to wotf contest. I've only entered about three times and those times are far apart. I'm hoping to enter in Quarter 3 and 4 since it is summer and I'm a professor and am smart enough to NOT teach sum...

I have a question that may seem on the newb side. Does anyone ever enter both writer and illustrator contests in the same quarter? What I'm thinking of entering for Q1 (assuming I have the time of course) has a nice visual that is tempting to try to illustrate. Follow up... has anyone ever won both ...

How awesome it is to hear from Kary English who in my book is a WOTF legend and brings us brownies on top of that! The next Writers of the Future volume I intend to read from start to finish is the one with Kary's winning story in it. Can't wait!!! wotf015 Thanks Kary for posting in the forum. And s...

Just my opinion, but it seems to me if they want to see shorter stories, perhaps the word count limit in the rules should be lowered to, say, 10K max? I hope not. And I think not...this limit was set long ago. I like long stories, it's what I also write. Darci Stone's story is a good example of why...

Anyone else feel ready to submit? I don't know how much more I want to tweak this story. I kinda want to submit it now. I know exactly that feeling. You've spent lots of time on the thing. Lived with it. Tweaked it. Edited it. And while once you were in love with the story now you just want it off ...

I'm back after a long break. I needed a change of pace and enjoy catching up by reading forum posts. It's like visiting a faraway land and seeing what the questing knights are up to. I love reading about the March workshop and learning from the great gurus and folks going to the gala and winning the...

Submitted May 24...

The "small announcement" is posted now. And somehow I feel this thread is the perfect place for such a wacky revelation. wotf004 Of course Gator is beginning to regret mentioning it, as she's starting to realize the full implications... https://ecaimansands.com/2016/06/09/a-small-announce...

I am now following you on goodreads and I listed you book as want to read.

May not do much but even a little might do something for it.

Many thanks LDWriter2...

Hello Kristy, Sorry to hear about your registration issues. I spent the better part of a morning (a week or so ago) trying to figure out avatars. But I don't recall troubles with registration, so it must be a recent phenomenon. I have an entry in 2016 quarter 3 after taking a 2 year break. So you've...

Thanks amoskalik, congrats on your three honorable mentions ! I only entered the WOTF contest once before in 2014 and my story was rejected. Writing a good short story is a hard nut to crack. Best wishes, Amy

Hey, I entered my first WOTF entry for quarter three. I've enjoyed reading your posts. Not sure what I'm doing exactly, but I feel compelled to write science fiction. Luck to everyone!
