How is the book coming on? This success should give you the confidence and the incentive to "crack on"
From little successes great works grow. Keep at it.
Congratulations! Was the competition with Writers' News? Are you still doing the Short Story Writing course?
Yes Im still doing the short story course. I've reached assignment 3 - slow going! The story that was a runner up was in the WriteSpace comp. They asked if they could put it on their website but I said no because I thought I might send it to a mag. Meanwhile, I have now heard that I was short listed in a Park Publications comp. No prize, but they have asked to publish the story and this time I said yes. Although no money is involved I feel that Park Publicatons do a lot to promote new writers. As a new writer I feel that I am walking through a minefield of copywrite rules - and then there is the possibility of exploitation too, but I'm finding it all very exciting!
Incidentally, the story that Park want is one that I wrote for a WM comp. but didn't send it off in time!
