Thanks so much, everyone. These words of support mean a lot! There doesn't seem to be any notice in the trades yet. I'm hoping things will pick up once there's press attention.

That is fantastic. So many congrats!

Congratulations, P-jay (ma'am). Another step up, isn't it?
LOL (on the ma'am). Thank you. And yes, it's one more step. This is the furthest any of my Nicholl entries have gone. Sure, winning is the dream, but bettering previous performances is a realistic goal for everyone who enters.
Congratulations P-jay. I was sort of blown away on mine being in it to be honest. Check this out: 9 misspelled words, 3 missing words, and we just simply won't discuss the lack of commas. But hell, they liked it so who gives s*hit.

But the overall writing, the characters, the research into both characters and setting, and the scene work was absolutely superb. Congratulations.
BTW, did you ever hear the story about the writer who sent in a manuscript to the publishing house that had bought their book and said, "Please do the punctuation for me. I don't know how."
Afterward, the editor wrote back, "Next time, send the punctuation. We'll write the book."
I didn't get the fellowship, but I am incredibly honored to have made the finals. I read the other finalist scripts and I'm sure the committee had a tough time narrowing it down to five. Congrats to the winners!
