I didn't expect to wake up today and find my little flash piece about rich people being terrible on a shortlist, but I am definitely squealing about it. 🤗🥳✨So many incredible writers and stories on this list, and big thanks to judge @LunchOnTuesday for your sweet comments.

[Ashleigh Adams 🖋️📚 ✨ @ashdoeswords]

But most of all, they make you feel something. I’m honored to be among them. It’s a good day.

Thanks to the judges for loving my little love story. Love you grandma, this one was for you. 🥰

Don't mind me, panic submitting to all the mags whose deadlines are closing because I absolutely did NOT realize it was the 30th. What is time?

[Ashleigh Adams 🖋️📚 ✨ @ashdoeswords]

@writers_pg Not the motel! 👀👀👀👀 🤣 I am feral to read these winning stories!

[Ashleigh Adams 🖋️📚 ✨ @ashdoeswords]

@AKScotland I didn't even enter this comp but I am living for these vague updates. 🤣
