“Acts of Love,” my entry for the State Library of North Carolina Accessible Books & Library services 2022 Writing Contest, did not place among the winners, but it did receive an honorable mention, for which I am grateful.
“Acts of Love” had nowhere near the substance of 2021’s resolute march through the rugged terrain of philosophical argument, so I did not expect a repeat of last year’s report that “‘Goines On’ Goes On to Win [the] State Library of North Carolina 2021 Writing Contest.” I suppose that the desperate meta-fictional twist I pulled off in “Acts of Love” captured an honorable mention by virtue of its “creativity” (the statement shown below lists the qualities the judges look for).
