Publication of the Year

blogging, dailyprompt 36 comments

Dear Readers,

There are some days that will always stick with you; today was one such for me.

My short story won Spillwords’ Publication of the Year award. I didn’t think much of it, it was just a story to go with one of Kevin’s No Theme Thursday challenges.

But apparently it touched many people and I am humbled and grateful that so many enjoyed it. Any gift or ability I have is from God, and it is to His glory that I think my story was recognized.

Thank you to all who read, commented, and voted on Dusty. I’ve met the most amazing, creative and kind people in this community, and I’m continually inspired and encouraged by stories, poems, photographs, paintings. Truly, everyone here is exceptionally talented in their own way.

Thanks again for being my friends… very grateful 😎

  4. Congrats, Darryl! I’m not one bit surprised. Right from the time I started reading you, I’ve thought (and commented) that you could publish a compilation of your short stories and be very successful.

    1. Terry, thanks. I know you’re always one of the first to like and comment on my stuff and your encouragement means more than I can say. I’ve got the idea for a book in my head and I’m slowly learning from published authors here on WP what’s required. I’m glad that readers find my stuff interesting. Thanks again, my friend, much appreciated 😎🙏

    1. Thanks, Hazel! I would love to one day get 2-3 dozen of my fav WP peeps together for a few cold ones. I think we’d talk and laugh until the sun came up 😎🙏

    1. Thank you, my friend! I think you’d be proud of my afternoon. A spot of tea and cookies around four-ish; a good book and a quick nap; then a pint or two at Doherty’s 😎🇬🇧 But seriously, thanks Laura, glad we met in WP land 🙂

    And I know what you mean about this community. It is a bonus that I did not expect when I started blogging. I am very grateful for the friends that I have made through this endeavor, and feel privileged to call you friend.
