To my reader,
Remember that Writer's Digest contest entry I was all relieved over? The one about a coconut, a mask, and a dictionary? (If you don't, I suppose you haven't read it or you have short-term memory loss. Either way, here's the letter where I wrote about it.)
As the end of April drew near, the week when the finalists for the contest would be announced, I grew anxious again. When I looked at the forum on the 29th where the final five were listed, my heart sank.
