This Month Just Keeps Getting Better

I got word last night that my story Left Unsaid won the first Seattle Erotic Arts Festival short story writing contest. I've said before, and I'll say again, I never win writing contests. So I'm absolutely floored by this. And thrilled. And I've been secret smiling to myself all day. I'll admit that I love that story. The sex is desperate and angry, because that's the only way he can tell his lover how he feels. Big kudos to the Seattle Erotic Arts Festival for including written the word this year. They also had a poetry contest and a play contest. An erotic play? Intriguing! I really wish I could go.
