Thank you! This is the one contest where I do feel like I've won the prize just by getting to the end... so hard to make it even kind of work
Historical fiction for the second contest in a row⦠why? Thank you @nycmidnight.bsky.social for bringing this pleasure/pain into my life. Good luck everyone scrambling in the last few hours!
I was thinking recently about how much I missed writing dialogue. This piece I wrote for the "my body, my choice" inaugural issue of Hot Flash Literary uses lots of dialogue and is very short. I'd love for you to read it and the whole amazing debut issue! π
