According to Winston Churchill, "success is going from failure to failure with enthusiasm"
Somehow I lost my Guthington profile, but it's me. Amy Wethington = Guthington = Physa
Decided to get something in when Q3 results came so gratifyingly quick! Great work, folks. Keep it up!
Another reason for an early entry: I expect this'll be my last sub to the Contest. Maybe going "pro" soon —which was always the goal.
I only hope SFWA stays in the game long enough for me to pay my dues just once!
Keep writing, kids! I look forward to your wins!

@angelslayah congrats on potentially pro’ing out!

I'm half way through revisions on my Q4 entry, but I have a backup story that's ready to go just in case the main story isn't finished by the deadline.

You can do it, Peter! There's still lots of time. Last quarter I only had about an hour to write one before the deadline and I still got it in. You've got this!

@gideonpsmith Yes, yes, I did. Please replace “smooth sailing” with “still very hard work.” But no worries, I will get it done. Sometime, I’d like to try that submitting right when the quarter opens thing. Lucky.

Finally the revisions to my story are done and submitted
I found a few extra wrinkles when using the Read Aloud function in Word, but I'm relieved it's all done now.
The waiting begins!

pixie dust, is that what was in those pixie sticks when we were kids? That would explain why after three I felt so alive.
