Liking those critiques

Wow! It's been a long time since I last posted, but I've been so freakin' busy. Between writing and reporting for our local weekly newspaper, The Township Times, working on website design projects, and trying to finish Twelfth Moon, Legend of the Pantera, the first of a three-book, paranormal/shape-shifter romance series, I haven't had time for much else.

--But I just had to mention that I'm a "Forties Club Finalist" (ranking #37) in
The Clarity of Night "Uncovered" Short Fiction contest. This is pretty exciting for me (believe it or not) to have been chosen, and actually get some feedback on my writing.

I'm sure I'm not the only writer who suffers from an occassional lack of confidence when it comes to my writing...am I? I do try to learn from my mistakes, read about writing techniques, and read as many novels (by my favorite authors) as I can get my hands on, so any kind of feedback is well-received, and greatly appreciated.
