Utah Arts Council Writing Competition
I got a call yesterday telling me I’d taken second place in the book-length auto/biography division of the Utah Arts Council Writing Competition. This carries with it a nice monetary prize (but not publication). The book I submitted is my dissertation, Uruguary. Maybe this will inspire me to finish the darn thing and get working on publishing it.

Dad • 09/24/05 • 1:46 PM:Congratulations, Patrick. Is that really your title, or did you accidentally add an extra “r”?
Patrick • 09/24/05 • 5:20 PM:Yes, the title is right. It’s a neologism, combining “Uruguay” and the -ary suffix that you find in “library,” “reliquary,” and other such words. In essence, the title means “A compendium of Uruguay things.” At least that’s what I was going for. It also was a misspelling on Pato’s second birth certificate (they had misspelled it “Uraguay” the first time).
Dad • 09/24/05 • 11:08 PM:Reminds me of “skullduggery.”
Patrick • 10/01/05 • 12:44 PM:The official announcement of the winners is now online.
