Contractions & Reactions – my ‘delivery room drama’ – has finally found a home over at Dream Quest One, where it took second prize in the Summer 2012 Writing Contest, for a cool $250.

I say finally because I have submitted it to magazines dozens of times and it has been shortlisted in two previous contests, so this acceptance has been a long time coming. Usually you get a feel if a piece is good, but it was getting to the point where I was beginning to doubt this one.

So, a few runner-up places this last year, but yet to bag the victory.

Onwards…
