    How about this for a lucky break, folks!  I was sauntering through a shopping precinct in Leeds, saw an abandoned magazine with the title 'Pick Me Up' lying on a bench and obeyed.  I read it on the bus home, realised that I had a little anecdote that seemed just right for it, emailed it as soon as I got back and had a phone call yesterday to say it's going to be in.  Not great literature, I know, but £25 quid towards my place at Swanwick next August.

    Congratulations! By the way, that's the meaning of the Italian dessert tiramisu.

    That reminded me of the competition WN ran a while ago about when someone picks up a paper or magazine and reads something that changes their life.  You can't ignore the fact that a message was definitely being sent to you. WOW! Good on you.

    Well done Montholon, but I don't think that this was a "lucky" break. I think it shows that you are totally tuned in to your writing,  able to spot an opportunity, enthusiastic, determined - and obviously talented. I wish you every future success.

    Thanks, everyone.  I hope that 2007 will be a successful year for all of us.
