Hey Thief. Just click the Vocal link I gave just above the link to Linda Caroll. You will see the list of all 1025 names and stories. I am certain you will recognize a bunch of Medium friends. Then again, I found only 6.

Shows you just how many awesome writers there are out there. I know a lot of folks on Medium but saw only 6 familiar names in the 1025.

Thank you for your support and kind words about my work. Short answer...nope. Not one of the number I told you I submitted made the finalist list. But ya know what? I am not giving up. I am going to keep at it until I win one of those suckers!

In the meantime I want to cheer on my friends. We all know how much that means to make a list like that.

Thief, I am so sorry. I am again behind on my reading on Medium. I love your writing and want to catch up.

I am also behind (again) in my commenting, responding and yeah, my Medium writing. This is part of the journey I am on (back to that earlier "scrambled eggs" article) trying to figure out my new working life path (since leaving career#1).

Slowly I am getting there. Slowly.

Have a great weekend, my friend.⭐️😍
