    Hi all,

    I still think I'm in a dream! I have won the Email short story competition with Writers' News!! Can't believe it!! This is the first thing I've ever won in 'writing'. I'm going to be invited to the Annual Prizegiving in Harrogate next May 07 - will anyone else be there?

    Well done Helen. The rest of us will have to wait for the group photo they do and publish, you can guide us to where you're standing.
  • FlickFlick
    Well done! This is just the start
  • niddyniddy
    Fantastic news. Well done, hopefully the first of many.

    Well done! Harrogate here you come!
  • HelenHelen
    Thank you all so much for your kind words! I feel really excited!! Yes, I'll let you know where I'm standing on the photo. :o)

    It probably sounded a bit funny what I wrote in my previous message: 'will anyone else be there'? I meant to write 'will anyone else from Talkback be there?'

    Oh, thank you everyone! It's so nice of you all!

    Hi Vijay - I'm going to be making a start on planning my novel now. :o) I have had an idea in my head for a few years now, so I'll continue planning for that.

    Hi Jacey - I'll probably go for a meal at the weekend when my fiance is back home. It'll be so good to celebrate for something like this!

    Hi Hippo - I hope so too, very much!!

    Hi Butterfly - That's great! What is your full name? I'll have to look out for you.

    Well done on such an achievement & let's hope that it's the springboard to further success.  Keep up the good work.

    Ah...thank you so much!! It has given me more of an incentive to keep on writing. I must say, the Writers' News Short Story course is really good. I'm starting the Fiction Writing one next.
