I submitted some blogs for a contest earlier this week, and was pleasantly surprised at the feedback I received yesterday.
In his e-mail, the editor said my writing samples "were excellent. You're a great writer and, so far, they don't need too much editing. It's refreshing.
"I don't know if you read a lot of columns or what but your writing already has a quasi-seasoned columnist tone to 'em. Good work."
Oh, and he described the picture I submitted (from last year's hot dog eating contest) as "epic."
Not bad, eh? I should know by the end of the week if I'm a finalist in the contest, and if I win, I could end up being paid to write a weekly blog! I'll definitely keep you all updated.
Thanks for reading my blog--if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be nearly so quasi-seasoned.

That's great, Jeff! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!
Go team you!!!!!
Because I am a regular reader, and the first to comment on this post, I'll take most of the credit for your seasoning.
Seriously, though, that's awesome. I hope you win.
You really are a good writer! You should pursue that whatever the outcome of the contest.
Thanks everybody!
Oh, and sorry, David. Two people got their comments in before you. I've been getting a lot of spam comments lately, so it's probably time to switch to a word verification comment system. Then you'd know for spot in the queue for sure.
I'm still taking most of the credit.
Congrats!
Mmmm, seasoning.
