I recently got in contact with Jeff Newman who runs and judges the StoryNotes contest and it turns out a friend of Jeff's was called up for service in Baghdad. The friend had just sunk his life savings in a business and asked Jeff to manage it until he returns.
So, spending close to a full day there and keeping up with his articles he can only get feedback done on a few contest entries at a time.
He says it'll probably take another two months before it's finished where he could announce the results.
