Get Ur Knives Out

a few months ago i wrote a post on this blog announcing that i was done sending to contests. at that point i was, and since that moment have only been sending to small independent presses in the hopes having my book published by one of the many little presses whose work i respect and admire.

my manuscript, however, was still at the contests i had sent it to before deciding against future submissions to them. turns out i won one, and i have accepted the prize. so whatever barbs you wanna throw my way, i guess i deserve it to some extent. i would say that i'm not too much of a hypocrite and that this is just an ironic turn of events, for whatever that's worth.
