From competition to publication

I've mentioned several places in my posts that I participate in some of the NYC Midnight writing competitions.  Some of my friends from FFM also participate and while some of our stories don't win or we don't go far enough in the rounds to continue, there are some good pieces of writing turned out from these fast and furious sessions.

One such piece just landed at Every Day Fiction. from my friend Sharon Wishnow.  Her piece titled The Tattooed Artist is one such example.  I remember being in the competition last year and she drew the Romance genre.  She did a great job with this story, it's a shame it didn't place higher at the time, but I'm so happy it found a home at EDF, since I frequently read their stuff (and even have a piece there myself.

I just hope my Romance piece for NYC Midnight does as well as this one! (I'll know in about 2 weeks).  Nicely done Sharon, congratulations.
