One more reason why I adore the SCWW conference?
The South Carolina Writer's Workshop offers the Carrie McCray Memorial Literary Awards in three categories: Novel-First Chapter, Poetry, and Non-Fiction.
And despite being a Nervous Nellie about entering competitions, I was bolstered enough by my win in the In Other Words Competition at the Pennwriters Conference earlier in the year to dare submitting work in a couple categories.
Guess what? I won second place in the Non-Fiction category! Needless to say, I am incredibly thrilled to have my work selected for such a fantastic award. So let me publicly thank the South Carolina Writer's Workshop and the judges who reviewed the entries.
Did I mention I'm over the moon about this? Because I am!
Annnnd conference over. Sad. I don't leave until tomorrow, so I get another night of the surf lulling me to sleep before I must return to reality.
I feel like I should pretend I'm busy writing my little patootie off, but what I'm really doing is lounging on a squishy bed with my balcony door open, listening to the ocean waves.
I have arrived in Myrtle Beach for the South Carolina Writer's Workshop. I should probably be downstairs searching out the registration desk, but I decided I need pizza more right now. Wanna see the view?
I had a pasta heavy day. So I'm not doing jack. I should be writing, but I'm still trying to muster up some energy for that. Maybe in a couple hours. I guess.
Easy final day, if you don't count near vomiting before and after my agent appointment...
This will be shorter because my brain is working too hard this weekend. Lots of work shuffling from one workshop to the next!
Want a recap of my day? Let's see if I can actually remember what happened...
