Ok, not exactly. But I wanted to post that I entered my first-ever writing challenge on one of the two writing forums I frequent. Thirteen people entered; many of them have been writing for years. One or two are published. The contest was to take the "trigger" and write the first 13 lines of a potential novel. The trigger this time was the noir/hardboiled detective genre.
Guess what? I got SECOND PLACE! The only person who beat me is one I know has been published. I just wanted to put up a little "yay me!" post, because I'm proud of myself. It's nice to have a little validation... like maybe this goal of being a writer isn't completely crazy. Maybe someday I really will be published!
We'll find out soon enough. Within the next few days, I'll be submitting a short story to an online magazine. I'm planning on it being rejected, because that's what happens. But maybe it won't sting as much as it would have.
