Ouch
Just found out that my story, “And Zeppelins” got no love from Writers of the Future. I’ve been a WotF semifinalist, and an honorable mention in different quarters. I was honestly surprised that Zepps got nothing. It’s a well-written story (I believe), and thanks to some good feedback from folks, I hammered out the plot problems that it had before. It might be too slipstream for WotF, or it might have other problems I don’t see. I’m going to make some minor word edits I noticed, but otherwise leave the story as is. Gotta have a little faith in yourself or you won’t last two minutes in this gig.

Sorry ’bout “And Zeppelins.”
Judges (editors) are all looking for different things. There’s a certain randomness there you can’t control.
