Received my first Pushcart Prize nomination

I cried hard in public just to have a nomination. 

I'm far from receiving an actual prize. The top award winners of Pushcart prizes tend to be from magazines like Kenyon Review, Paris Review, New England Review, etc, but I'm thrilled a story of mine was deemed worthy of consideration.

I honestly thought this thread was gonna be about receiving recognition for collecting the carts in a Wal-Mart parking lot. Not that you're a cart pusher, the thread title just made me think of that

I'm always a cartpusher at heart.

Also at Ralph's.

I feel like I have to get a cart-pushing award nomination now, just to make sure I'm living up to expectations.

I can't tell if you meant that when you found out about your nomination it triggered you to cry hard in public, or if you like posted a youtube vid of yourself crying hard asking to be nominated, and it worked. 

Anyways, congrats!

I cried on camera and submitted it to the literary journal. It got accepted for publication, and it was such a moving short film they entered it as a literary work for the Pushcart nomination. 

 

Nah, the nomination hit me hard. I'm always struggling with doubt regarding my work, so it's nice to have a magazine that really believes in what I do, enough to send it off for a major prize.

And thank you!

Congratulations, and for some reason I can see you getting an award for artistically crying on camera too.
