Did you enter ChocLit's Winter Short Story Competition? (Rumoured to be their last.) The Indoor Writer subbed a story, but didn't make the shortlist. She shouldn't complain, as she was the lucky winner back in November for the Summer competition. The results are out and you can read Tracey Glasspool's winning story 'The Secret Ingredient' here. Have to confess it made me blink back a few tears. Tracey has also been doing well in the weekly Write-Invite competitions and clearly has a talent for capturing the voice of younger characters. The Summer story is still on the website too.
I shall have a read of that now, Tracy.
ReplyDeleteHappy reading Wendy :)
DeleteWill have a quick look at that comp, Tracy. I didn't enter the ChocLit comp but I do remember your excellent winning story in the previous one!
ReplyDeleteHelen's competitions are always fun Rosemary.
DeleteI plan to try Helen's competition.
ReplyDeleteGood luck Patsy :)
DeleteI really enjoyed the winning story. Such a simple tale(we had a saying when I was little about putting 'cuddle dust' in drinks when someone was poorly) that manages to be sentimental but not soppy.
ReplyDeleteI love the sound of 'cuddle dust', think we can all do with some of that Julia :)
DeleteThanks for the links Tracy! Edith xxx
ReplyDeleteYour very welcome Edith. Enjoy :)
