Highest Ranked Entries for UP AND DOWN

Post by Deb Porter »

Hi Challengeers.

Now that our UP AND DOWN winners have had a little bit of time in the spotlight, it's time to give a cheer to all those who didn't quite make it to the top, but did very well. So if your entry appears on any of these lists, you deserve a pat on the back.

Love, Deb

I waited up last night to see if my favorites that didn't make the top ten made the top 40, and was glad to see this morning many of them did.

Yet some are missing, which tells me the caliber of writing continues to go up and the judging keeps getting tougher.

Congratulations to everyone on the list. Dee, you got that dratted 11th place this week. I read your story this morning--it made for the most pleasant coffee-sipping time.

Hope you all have a wonderful Friday!
