I've won my first comp!!!!!
Hi, I'm so excited!! In March this year I entered a writing comp, where the word limit was 100 words and the word crossword had to be in it. What I wrote about was, a young woman is doing a crossword and the clues (by coincidence) lead to her finding out that her partner is having an affair. She's talking about the clues, her partner is getting defensive and she starts to connect it together. I've won a three month subscription! :-)
