Today, I attended ARWA’s 30th anniversary and was a judge for their short story contest. As there weren’t enough entries to pick a top 3, I simply gave each of them a critique and did a public critique emphasizing the positives. They gave me lunch and an honorarium, AND a cheque to support the Robin Herrington Memorial Short Story Contest! In addition, there were belly dancers, and Mayor Nenshi spoke. A great meeting!
