[ Contests ]

Two and half months until Convergence comes back to the Twin Cities. I'm eagerly looking forward to working on the gaming floor again, and I'm looking forward to this year theme of "Boldly Go."

This year is also more interesting to me because I've remembered to prepare my short story for submission for the MISFIT's Writing Contest. The last three years I've remember two days before the conference and by then the judging is completed (since they announce the winners at Convergence opening show.

It isn't a new story. It's from an old submission to an anthology that I failed the final rounds of selection. I've spent the last two weeks polishing it and reediting in an attempt to be a better stand-a-lone piece. Quiete frankly, I'm very happy with it. It flows much better then any older version, and when read outloud I have each character sounding the way I want them.
