I got some great news yesterday and right at this moment in time it’s important to focus on the good!
I found out I have been shortlised for a short story competition I entered last year meaning my story will be published in an anthology later this year.
I had very low expectations when I entered the competition and still can’t really believe it. This is the first short story I have ever entered into a competition which I would say is a very good sign.
While we have been locked indoors, I have been writing more and this news has given me a real boost to carry on going with it. I feel like I’m making progress in the right direction. It’s now a case of getting my head down and write more and, if possible, better.
The longer we stay confined to our houses, the more likely it is that I will write my first novel so maybe something positive will come out of this after all.
I have no idea when the anthology will be published but I will let you know when copies are available in case you want to get your hand on a copy.
That’s super news, many congratulations.
Thank you! 😊
