And the Winner is.... ME!

Though I've never put much stock into writing contests, I must say it feels good to finally win one. Yes, that's right, I won something and it had to do with writing. Okay, okay, it wasn't the Delacorte Press middle grade novel contest that comes with a nice publishing contract. It was better than that. It was the FIRST ANNUAL CAPTION CONTEST over at Ben Esch's piping hot blog kingdom. 

Although this contest may not propel my writing career or make me famous (although I'm starting to wonder....hmmm... are there people who write captions for a living?), I'd like to give thanks to everyone who made my victory possible. 

First, I'd like to thank my agent. Wait, I don't have one of those.

Second, I'd like to think my editor who... wait, I don't have one of those either.

Third, I'd like to thank my beautiful wife and daughter.... wait, they didn't have anything to do with this (though I love them dearly).

Okay, I guess I'd like to thank only myself... for so eloquently captionizing (is that a word?) a cat/dog picture and making it come to life. I mean, it only took me like a few 30 minute sessions to perfect that darn caption. But it all paid off in the end. 

Winning. 

Did I mention I love contests?
