Pushcart Prize

Alida Winternheimer, author

What a week it’s been! I went away over Thanksgiving weekend for a quiet retreat with Scott–no wifi, no kids, no dog, no holiday. (Sorry Mom and Dad, but we needed the down time.) Despite unwinding, I had to check email on the phone once in a while to see if the dog sitter needed anything, right? No dog news, but I got an email from Ben Goodney, Editor at Storm Cellar literary journal saying that my story “Wild Animal” was nominated for a Pushcart Prize.

 

On Tuesday, I got an email from Sheila O’Connor, the Fiction Editor at Water~Stone Review saying that my story “The Herd” was also nominated for a Pushcart Prize.

No kidding.

I didn’t record my happy dances, so I’m going to show you Seva in a party hat, cause really, what’s more happy than that?
