Let the Voting Begin
Today is a wonderful day. First day of voting for the Kindle Short Story Contest and the first day of National Novel Writing Month. I will probably be tied up with that until December, but I am excited to see who the winner of the contest is going to be.
We have three great entries this year. Please read, comment, and discuss.
See you in December!
