My Voice, My Thoughts, My life…

My experience was great, it felt good to try a literary contest for once.

I entered the fiction division of the contest with my literary piece, “Promise, I won’t forget”. I created the piece while I was enjoying my semestral break. I was nervous from the time I took the application form to the time I asked two of my professors to sign the certificate of originality. After this first part of the experience, i was calm and relax.

When I received a text message that I needed to get my invitation, my feeling of being nervous came back. My mind was asking a lot of questions related to the contest. the invitation was simple but made a big impact on me. I was much closer to the truth, did I win or not.

The last part was the awarding ceremony. I calm myself to prevent a false hope of winning. The night was great, the Plaza Mayor in UST was a nice place to be. When I arrived to my table, i met a new friend and like me she was nervous. The time had come to call on the winners for those who entered the english category. The Fiction Division was the first to be called for the awarding. Alas I did not win, but in the end I tried my best.There is always a next time.

For now I’ll try to improve on my writing skills so I can win the next Ustetika literary contest next year.
