Two more stories that (mostly) made it, and plans for 2020
Last year’s Nova
The results of SFFSA’s 2019 Nova competition was recently announced, and I was stoked to see that both stories I submitted made the top three, kind of. I say “kind of” because one won joint second place, and the other won joint third place.
Interestingly, the one that won joint second place, “Into the Molten Sea”, was the one that I was less confident about, compared to the other one, “A Proof of Worth”. Nonetheless, I’m very happy with the result.
You can currently read the judge’s comments on SFFSA’s website.
The year ahead
Now, if you’ve had a look around here, you might have noticed that all the stories that I have published have been through SFFSA’s Nova competition.
It’s been a wonderful experience to sharpen my teeth, so to speak, on getting stories ready for the Nova competition, and the results and feedback I’ve gotten have played a significant role in convincing me to start taking bigger bites.
This year, I want to expand the reach of my stories, and just be more consistent with sending them out instead of endlessly revising or restarting them.

I’ll be posting updates as things happen, and links to the two new stories will be up once they’re available for public viewing.
That’s all for now.
