Honorable Mention

It was an incredible experience, today. I got a comment on my contest entry video from somebody in Germany out of the blue, and then a total stranger commented congratulations… so I went to the contest official site as fast as my typing fingers could take me.

There were two first place winners and one second place winner of the 320 videos that were entered into the Exile/Vilify contest I was trying to win. There were also 9 videos that were honorable mentions. Mine was the third one down, of the latter, in a link that said “Best Turret Story.”

The number of “likes” has tripled, the number of views doubled, and the number of comments went from a small handful to 4 pages! It is no huge success, but I feel… validated. And the comments I just mentioned are enough to make a guy blush. Today was one happy day.

Thank you so much Melissa, for giving me the time to do this and believing in me. 🙂
