In April WD announced the winners of the 2010 short story contest. The #1 short story was Throwing Stones by Wendi Christner.
I read it and just had to put it on my blog. It’s lyrical, moving and…well, you’ll have to read it yourself.

I tried the link and either it’s been removed or I can’t get to it. I actually entered this contest, in the YA category short story category for Pink Shoelaces. I placed in the contest, quite an honor considering the quality of work. The magazine should be out this month, with the winners stories in every category, and mention all who placed. I can’t wait to read this story!
If you want to read my short story entry Pink Shoelaces you can read it on my blog. http://romancingthewriter.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
I would appreciate any constructive criticism.

I really encourage everyone to read some of this authors other works! She has a God given talent to write, and she works so very hard at it too. Some of her works have put her on a short list of people, that have actually changed how I look at things in my life. May she continue to use her talent to give back to her readers.

“You either got to let go or throw yourself in there with her.”
Wow! What a story!

Thank you so much for posting the link to “Throwing Stones” on your blog! Sometimes Google Alerts holds the nicest surprises. I’m thrilled you enjoyed the story. It means more to me than I can express to have something I created evoke your emotions.

Very rarely do I read something that evokes so much emotion. It actually made me cry!
