I placed in the top ten for the recent Women on Writing essay contest! Here's what the letter said:
Dear Julie,
Congratulations on placing in WOW’s Q4 Essay Contest! “Lego Girl” is such a creative, smart essay, and we all just loved the way you put it together! Third person was such a GREAT choice and your essay is the best example I’ve seen. The husband part was packed with emotion! I loved the repetition of “Who was...” until the end “This is who she is” - powerful writing! You have a fantastic narrative voice and this was one of my favorite reads. :)
