Hey, isn't this your own contest anyway?

I kind of like them short.

I have my own distractions right now.  I have a story I want to write
for "The Immigrant Experience", but if it's going to win a contest,
I'll have to put some more work into it than usual.  Meanwhile, my
life has been full of either visiting people and being sociable
instead of writing, or roaming the countryside and writing travelogs.
Either way, the fiction gets edged out.  So, I am for the first time
not going to submit a story by deadline.

I'm enjoying that series.
