Congratulations! Your story was great!
ReplyDeleteYea!! I hope you win. I loved your story & it's clever twist on Wickhams and Darcys.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jane and Wendy! Jane, I thought your story was great, too. Have you thought of cutting it down (to make the shorter word count) and submitting to the Chawton House contest?
ReplyDeleteWendy, thanks for reading my story before I submitted and for all your great suggestions!
I hadn't heard about the Chawton House contest, I'll have to look that up! Thanks for the suggestion!
ReplyDeleteJust google "Jane Austen Short Story Contest" and it should come up. But I think the entries have to be mailed to England--no email submissions.
