i just wanted to wish you the best of luck tonight and tell you how proud i am to be associated with you all in this contest.
only 10 people (and, alas, fewer with each passing week) truly know the experience of what goes into crafting a story each week within the restraints of time and topic.
just remember that criticism is a spectator sport, and the wisdom of critics can only flow from the blood and sweat shed by the writer.
writing a story is hard enough. but writing one in a week that's fit to see the light of day (and the eyes of other writers, even!) is, well... i know what it is for me.
and it ain't pretty.
anyway, just wanted to share some thoughts and my best wishes.
