Like many staying safe at home during the COVID-19 pandemic, my parents are cleaning. Mom has been messaging daily with newly discovered archaeological treasures, from a Farah Fawcett shampoo bottle to commemorative items from Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation.
This week she sent me a newspaper clipping from September, 1995.
Apparently there was a city-wide, library-sponsored, Star Trek-branded science fiction contest, and I won Honorable Mention in the adult category.
I have absolutely no idea what I wrote. I’m curious.
That’s such a fun find! Maybe someday you’ll come across a copy of the story. I’ve got boxes of journals and paper files from my younger days, and have recently been sorting through them to toss papers that don’t matter and preserve early stories and things I want to keep. It’s quite an experience seeing one’s early work.
