I am excited to share a short story of mine that has been chosen as a finalist for a flash fiction contest!

A side note, in the same week this story was accepted another was declined. It has given me a certain perspective on the perseverance of the artist. I share these pieces because I am proud of them but also because I hope you can feel inspired to create your own art and feel emboldened to share it with the world. You don’t need to be “the chosen one” to be creative. You don’t need to make money from your art to call yourself an artist/writer/poet/musician. Instead you can create and enjoy your craft for the sake that it’s wholly and solely yours.

Congratulations! I appreciate your sentiments on submissions and the fact that the process of creating should be celebrated for the very act in itself. Off to read your flash fiction! 💓
