My head says NO, but against this better judgement I have decided to run another winter short story challenge. Autumn seems to have arrived early in this corner of Europe with cold wind and rain, alternating with fickle sunshine. Even Eratigena atrica has begun its amorous invasion of my home a few weeks ahead of schedule, so to take my mind off this hairy horror, writing is just the ticket.
I will be making a few more announcements over the next couple of weeks, with more detail. I know that a few people missed joining last year and one or two didn’t quite make it over the finishing line in time. I want to give everybody as much opportunity to participate as possible, so spread the word, and obviously, feel free to speculate.
The challenge will be called “Songs of Innocence and Experience”. Expect a new group to appear quite soon.

Fab, Ath. These are always so inspiring. 🙂
Brilliant, Ath. I was just about to message you and ask if you were running a winter comp this year 😁
Hooray!!! Good on you Ath. And a kick up the bum to me to clear the decks of some current stuff.
Three cheers, I say.
Is that the time already? I still haven’t finished the last one.
Didn’t manage the last one. Must try harder. Good for you, Ath.
Great news and thanks Ath
Fabulous news – love the name. All sorts of possibilities springing to mind there… Thanks, Ath x
I promise to try harder for this one. The last lies somewhere among other penned ideas, in one of my jotters.
This is great but good Lord where has this year gone?
I ate it
Can I offer you a blackberry tart instead? I need some of the year that’s left
Make it crumble. With custard
Can I have a bit of both, please? Oh, and yes, custard definitely.
