AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
That was because I still haven’t heard from the Phobos contest whether my story wins or loses.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
And that was because I still haven’t heard from Writers of the Future.
I am being eaten alive by suspense. Although I guess it’s not really the suspense about whether I’ll win or lose that is so bad, it’s not knowing when I’ll know. If both contests sent me an e-mail saying that the results would be delayed until June 15, then I could put it all aside until June.
But the Phobos website still says, “The jury is expected to complete its deliberations and select the 12 winning stories by mid-December, 2003.” And the e-mail I got from WOTF said that they doubted they would have the result before the end of last year.
So every time I check my e-mail, every time I get my snail-mail, every time my phone rings, in the back of my mind I wonder if I’m finally going to find out.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Sorry, just had to let that out.
