I'm waiting for one to come back and have a re-write to send off. I look forward to reading how you get on with achieving your goals.Jan Baynhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06356572488839476046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323608100391663677.post-4139242241209428572014-01-15T11:57:02.698-08:002014-01-15T11:57:02.698-08:00Hi Tracy, you had a great year!

Personally, I don't really enjoy writing that kind of story. I've sent about 8 stories to TABFF in total over the last three years, and they've published two. But even though that's a good success rate, I'm not inspired to rush and write more.... I've sent around the same number to WW, but all rejected. But...if I was in it solely for the money then it would be tempting.<br /><br />Like you, I've vowed to enter less competitions in 2014. I need to START my novel :-)<br /><br />Your drama/radio successes are admirable by the way!Miss McFishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01411146378505200757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323608100391663677.post-52246321660418923322014-01-15T10:47:12.435-08:002014-01-15T10:47:12.435-08:00Hi Tracy, you've had a really good writing yea...Hi Tracy, you've had a really good writing year in 2013, and the womag stories are so hard to get right. I'm with you on wondering whether to give up though. There are only so many rejections a writer can take aren't there? But I don't think we should ever give up. 'm sure you feel the story is right, like I do, so keep on with them, but sounds like the drama, and articles are going better for you. Good luck with your writing for 2014.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
