Sharp Words

Well, my short story, For Society’s Sake, came 2nd in last week’s Daily Writing Tips competition.

I’m actually not dissatisfied with that at all! It means that there were about 20 people who liked it enough to give it a vote. And the story that came first had had about 20 votes before mine even got one (even though mine got its first pretty damn quick), so you know, whatever.

I was a bit disappointed that no-one commented on the story itself though (although thanks for the name-plug, Avid Reader!) – I was rather hoping for some feedback. Oh well, we can’t have everything in life…

Thank you to anyone who voted for my story though! Your support is very much appreciated.

I did quite enjoy the competition though; I’ve enjoyed reading the other stories (well, I’ve enjoyed reading some of them) and in doing so, I’ve had a good look with a hopefully unbiased eye at my own work.

But if you want to read what’s definitely an enjoyable short story by a talented writer, go check out this one, Rasp, by my dearest top commenter Ken.
