Winner of Flash Fiction Rodeo Contest #1

I am delighted to announce the winner of my flash fiction contest “When I grow up”. Judging was a tough job, but we got there in the end.
Charli has made a lovely badge for contestants to put on their blogs. Check it out when you check out the winners.
Thanks for a fabulously fun rodeo, Charli.

      I know you meant to write ‘it’, Robbie, but you were fantastic, so what you did write is just right too. 🙂

    Norah, Thank you for all your leadership on this contest! Anne and Robbie were terrific judges and you all provided good selections. I’m thrilled Hugh won. I really like the transition in his story comparing what the boy wanted to be to the man evolving and yet becoming all he wanted to achieve.

      Thanks, Charli. I enjoyed the role. I hope I get a chance to saddle up next year as well! 🙂

    Wonderful contest you lead, Norah. Must have been fun (but difficult) to choose a winner. I love that you shared each of the judge’s top picks, too. Those were some amazing stories. Congrats to all!

      Hi Sarah. Yes, choosing a winner was both fun and difficult. I was pleased that I didn’t know whose stories I was reading. That way, I was just as surprised as everyone else to find out who the winner was. And I was surprised, I have read quite a bit of Hugh’s work, including his short stories, but I didn’t pick this as his at all. It’s quite a different style from his usual, which is noteworthy in itself.
      Yes, there were great submissions, choosing a winner was a difficult task. 🙂

        Would you believe if I told you that I’ve written a rom-com, Norah? It’ll be featured in my next book of short stories. 😀
        Thanks again for giving me my first short story win. I’m still on cloud nine and don’t want to come down. 😀

          A rom com! I usually think of your stories as being a bit darker, a bit twisted somehow. It’s good to try new genres. We didn’t have a rom com or even a rom in the CR contests this year – maybe next year?
          Stay on cloud nine as long as you like, Hugh. I’m delighted to know that you are so pleased with the win. And so you should be. You had tough competition to win against.

      I was thrilled that you were willing to judge the contest with me, Anne. We’ve been riding together on this ranch since it’s earliest days. I’ve learned so much from you and admire your writing greatly, as you know. It was appropriate to have you as a co-judge. It was also an honour. Thank you.
