    Oh yeah. I'll get mine next saturday, thanks for reminding me.

    Jay - I dreamt last night that there was a paragraph at the bottom of a WN page saying you'd won first prize in a specific competition. I was just reading on to see if it was gay romance when the dream shifted to something else.

    I hope it's true!!!
  • Jay MandalJay Mandal
    So I'm the stuff of dreams now! Don't think I've entered any competitions, though. Submissions for a couple of anthologies, and trying to offload a flash fiction collection and a short story collection. I did win a competition a year ago - over 1,000 entries - but the prize wasn't huge, and the magazine has since shut down.

    I haven't finished reading last month's magazines. Where's that month gone?
  • Jay MandalJay Mandal
    Don't worry, BB, February's always the shortest month.
  • Jay MandalJay Mandal
    Due out today!
  • PiperPiper
    Which I'll get saturday.
  • CarolCarol
    Sometimes it arrives on Thursday, sometimes Friday- never know which until it turns up.
  • Jay MandalJay Mandal
    The magazines have just thudded through my letterbox.
  • dorothyddorothyd
    see someone praising you for your letter, Jay??? Nice one!
  • Jay MandalJay Mandal
    Yep. When I sent it to Writers' News, I asked them if they'd like me to expand it as an article, but it seemed not. :-)
  • CarolCarol
    Mine has arrived too.
  • Baggy BooksBaggy Books
    And mine.
  • JennyJenny
    Likewise - haven't opened it yet though.
  • PiperPiper
    I'll still get mine on Saturday!
  • CarolCarol
    Apart from Jay getting a mention in someone else's letter, I didn't notice anyone obvious.

    The Talkback Limerick thread has a mention on page 6 of WM. This is in connection with The Guardian Books Blog team's challenge to its followers to write a limerick.

    It quotes two limericks that have appeared on the site. Maybe they were written by TBers!

    The article finishes by recommending readers to "see how the Talkbackers compare"!
  • CarolCarol
    Fame for the limerick writers. :)
  • JennyJenny
    Or, in some cases - judging by the content - notoriety! :)
  • LolliLolli
    Oh goody, as a fairly prolific and regular limerick contributor, I feel I've got a bit of a mention. :) Have to say though that as I had a day off and the mags arrived I did nothing else today but read them!
  • JennyJenny
    A nice lazy day then!
  • PiperPiper
    I shall have to look out for that Jenny, not that I've wrote one...

    I see Amboline was shortlisted in the poetry comp in WM . Hope I can say that, shame he seems to have left talkback, but well done anyway!
  • Lou TreleavenLou Treleaven
    There's a lot of YWO books mentioned in the members news part of WN.
  • WiltsWilts
    Mine arrived yesterdy but I've not had a chance to even open them yet. :P
  • PiperPiper
    I'll get mine tomorrow. Keep this thread up to remind me please!
  • lexialexia
    Well done limerick writers.

    Now - why has WN not got back to me about the proposed One Word Anthology ? :(

    May I hijack this thread for a moment and ask if anyone will write also and explain about the idea ? Perhaps they think that it's only me imagining that we could do it..........

    Thanks
  • CarolCarol
    It may have been a case of rushing for deadlines to get this latest issue to press.
    If you haven't heard anything next week, I'm quite willing to e-mail Jonathan Telfer. It may have to have been passed on further up the chain.
  • Jay MandalJay Mandal
    It's probably OK. I suspect if they were worried, they'd have replied pronto. Wasn't he a friend of the Lone Ranger?
  • CarolCarol
    If it is successful it will be a good plug for the magazines too.
  • lexialexia
    Yes Carol, I said words to that effect in my original mail.

    Jonathan Telfer was a friend of the Lone Ranger ? Curious. ;)
  • Jay MandalJay Mandal
    Think it means silly or stupid in Spanish.

    Do let me know if you're not following this conversation.
  • NenaNena
    Jay..........


    I'm not following this conversation!
  • dorothyddorothyd
    Jay, you're right, it does and the pun was a clever one. I leave you to explain to Nena ...
  • NenaNena
    I was joking, Dorothyd. Pronto/Tonto. Haha, Jay.

    Go on, now tell me I got it wrong!
  • lexialexia
    Think we are all a little "tonto" - it's what keeps us going .
  • PiperPiper
    I've got my copy now!!

    I'll read it one night in bed this week.
  • ambolineamboline
    Hi Kateyanne, thanks for flagging up that I'd got a shortlisting. As ever, I'm weeks behind with the magazines (or, to be technically accurate, I'm reading them in the *correct* month, i.e. the one that's on the cover!) so I was miles off spotting that one.
  • Jay MandalJay Mandal
    Pages 8 and 9, Writing Magazine:

    "Her voice literally poured off the page."
  • NefertariNefertari
    Hi Amboline glad you are still around. How is the poetry course going?
