As the title says, unfortunately, my time in SPFBO9 has come to an end, with Credible Threats making it as far as the semifinals. I can’t deny it’s disappointing, but I had a great time. I was blown away to be a semifinalist, and I had so many positive experiences; meeting other writers, getting some great reviews and interviews, and experiencing all the well wishes that came with the contest. I definitely intend to take another shot at it in a few years.
Congratulations to my fellow semifinalists and the finalists! Thanks to Mark Lawrence, Luke Winch, and everyone involved. Once again, you can follow all of the contest’s progress here: https://mark—lawrence.blogspot.com/2023/05/spfbo-9-phase-1.html
