My First Final!!

I finaled in the Greater Detroit’s RWA chapters Between the Sheets writing contest. It’s my first final, and it almost didn’t happen.

When I received my scores I was told that I was not a finalist. However when I reviewed my score sheets I had a total score of 117 out of 120. So close, yet so far. All day I stressed inside. How close had I gotten? I finally gathered my courage and sent a little message asking how out of the race was I. Much to my joy, I actually had finaled.

I have been in a daze all day. This is a big moment for me. Hopefully not the last. And also a valubale lesson in trusting my gut and question when need be.
