My short story, "The House of Butterflies" recently won first place in the Women on Writing Summer 2012 Flash Fiction contest. So excited!

Congrats!
Awesome!
Wow, that's freaking great! Congratulations!
Sweet GG! Congrats!
Congrats. I am not the least bit jealous of you right now ;)
Congrats.
That's awesome! I also hate wind chimes, and for the very same reason!
And tricycles turned over on their sides in yards with dead grass. For the same reason.
Congratulations GG! What's it about?
Congratulations! Your story was interesting, and the novel your working on sounds like a good time.
Thanks, everyone! I would have responded sooner but have been slammed, and then got really sick last week. But better now!
@Jonathan, there is no need to be jealous of me at all. I bet you're a probably a better writer than I am. I feel like such a newb half the time! :)
@Utah, we are kindred spirits in our fear of wind chimes. Oooh, turned over tricycles, that IS scary! Aiyeeeeee!
@Covewriter, if you scroll down on the link I posted, you can actually read it, the story is buried halfway down the page. Sorry!
@GG. I doubt that very much. I have yet to be published and have won exactly 0 awards or contests yet. I'm not really jealous though that was just me being silly. I actually get extremely happy and proud when fellow authors get accolades. Kudos G.G. Keep up the great work!
Congrats! That's a nice way to start things off. I felt like I won an award just to finally get someone to accept my work, but an award on top of it? That's a great foundation to build on!
Thank you, Jonathan and Michael! I **so** appreciate the cheerleading!!
Nice story GG. Read it and joined the mAiling list

@Covewriter. THANKS! And glad you joined the mailing list They are a great organization, top-notch, very supportive.
@JonnyGibbings. WHOA, that would be crazy/awesome/crazy. I think my head woud explode, or I would need to find bigger hats to wear. [I think there's a Peter Gabriel song about big, fat heads? LOL!] BUT FIRST, I need to be a better writer. Always working on it; I still struggle so much. But your kind words mean a lot! <grins ear to ear>
