Agreed on the Grinder. Ralan.com is another excellent market source. Many pros use it.

Thanks to all the organizers, judges, etc. WotF is tremendous and this SHM has given me insights to major revisions of my novel and this forum has encouraged me to take a leap and commit to one new story per quarter! Love you guys!!

I had a look at escape pod for submitting my q3, but mine is Fantasy and they're mainly focused on sci fi.

I found I didn't have a response to my answer to her first email, and still don't have one to my follow-up yesterday, which is a little unusual. She seemed to think she was having bother with her email, and I wonder if she's right.

I did and then I got her personal response to say she received it this time. Her confirmation email took about 3 days--not bad considering all she's doing.

The next day, I bought a new mailbox SPECIFICALLY so that would never happen to future certificates....

I dried it and ironed it. ...with any luck, it will be joined by Q3 certificate in a few days

But any certificates I've earned (Masters, Bachelors, Diploma, Certificate) are all sitting in a box mostly still in their envelopes or tubes unless the program gave a framed version then the framed one sits in the box too. I'd feel bad asking for one just so it could join the dark and gloomy box of history :)

I don't ask for certificates anymore either. Maybe if I get a higher place, I will. But since my HMs and SHMs mostly got trunked, those don't feel like as much of an accomplishment anymore, and they'd just be collecting dust with the certificates I have gotten.
