Well, I entered a short story contest in Excalibur, York's student-run newspaper, several weeks ago and today when I opened the new edition to the literary supplement, I discovered that I had won. After my initial shock and great pleasure, I was somewhat upset that I had received no warning from the Excalibur offices, but now I realize that I'm happier not having known.
The story is pretty PG because the theme of the contest was the Seven Deadly Sins, so I won't post it to this blog. If you would like to read it and you don't go to York, I plan on scanning the page of the paper with both my winning story and the winning poem, written by a classmate of mine from Gender Studies.
I entered the contest as a diversion. Suffice to say I'm quite surprised that I won. I wonder what this means for my future literary career.

About Me
- Laura Rose
- I'm 24 years old and finally finished two undergraduate degrees at York University, one in Specialized English and the other in Intermediate/Senior Education. I enjoy long walks on the beach... Just kidding. My life is pretty ordinary, but it can be pretty entertaining to read about! I go on lots of adventures, on purpose AND unintentionally, but hey, variety is the spice of life. Or so they say...
This is me...
in all my glory
On a regular day, kids...
I'm just some punk from the T-Hill
