I woke up this morning to an email from PANK Magazine letting me know they nominated my story, “The Last Time,” for a Pushcart Prize.

I mean, some perspective:

I’m not getting delusions of grandeur thinking I’m going to win, or do the classic faux pas of putting it in my cover letter, but it is a pretty great feeling knowing that of all the 100s of stories/poems/etc. that PANK publishes over the course of the year, they thought so highly of mine.

Thanks so much for the support and encouragement, PANK!
