Worries etc.

Well, I have not added to this blog in a while. I could say that it's because I've been busy, but well, who am I kidding?

Anyway, I got some cool news today. My story

Virgin Birth  (18+) An entry into a contest about the dark side of holiday festivities. . .It won first place! #1913377 by Weirdone-Back in the games

has won first place in the contest that I entered it in, which means that I will participate in that contest's elite round in April.

Before you click on it, (you were about to click on it weren't you?) I should warn that it's kind of gory stuff. Like I said before, my writing in the last few weeks has been entirely too pleasant, so I felt it was time for something like this.

Now, I almost forgot to write on the prompt which is what do I no longer worry about.

Well. . .there's swimming. You see, when I was a boy my parents made me take swimming lessons, and I hated it because they made me put my face in the water. My parents gave me that spiel about how I had to learn to swim because I might fall out of a boat, but that wasn't real enough to bother me. No, I was more worried about how one day, not being able to swim would become a problem, because I would have to take swimming in High School or something. Anyway, I went to a High School, that didn't even have swimming, let alone require it. Evntually, I learned how to swim on my own, but that's another story. The point is that I don't stay up nights worrying about it anymore.
