"Battlefield Pickup" Writers of the Future Honorable Mention

Post by moose42 »

I am so stoked I can finally tell you guys about this. I submitted a SCI-FI story to Writers of the Future and received an honorable mention!

Honorable Mentions:
...
Matthew Mayner of Idaho
...
This is the coolest thing that has happened in my writing career so far.

I know this isn't just a "thanks for submitting" award, because my first story that I submitted didn't get one.

They're going to send me a certificate in the mail and everything. Sweet!

I know it's not the same as winning but if my story "Battlefield Pickup" was trash I know I wouldn't have gotten an honorable mention.

So without further ado, here's Battlefield Pickup.

good for you. Nothing like a little encouraging feedback from the pros.

Cool! Someday, we'll be able to say, "Yeah, I knew him back when he was submitting stuff to a gun forum, and now he's on the bestseller lists!"

Congratulations!

OUTFRIGGIN'STANDING!!!!
POLITICIANS & DIAPERS NEED TO BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON

A person properly schooled in right and wrong is safe with any weapon. A person with no idea of good and evil is unsafe with a knitting needle, or the cap from a ballpoint pen.
