Just nipped into the Den in the middle of a busy week to discover another of your interesting blogs, Richard, so had to stop and read. Thank you!

Sounds like my kind of novella, Stevie 😁

Sounds like my kind of writer and you’ve definitely sold him to me.

Thanks Richard. I’d never heard of him but have down loaded a collection of his and will have a look – maybe not at night with the wind howling round the house like it did yesterday evening!

Go for it, Stevie. I bet you can knock out more words in 5 months than you think. And worst case scenario, you’ll still have the makings of a story if you don’t hit the deadline.

Oh goodness, @daedalus. How awful. Please put Part 3 up soon! I can’t bear seeing you in this awful pickle!!

Thanks again for sharing. I really hope your own experience will serve successfully to protect other authors who may otherwise have gone down the same line.

I know I’m incredibly talented, Daeds, I’m just pretending to be modest.

Thanks, Bella, will take a look 🙂 x

Thanks Philippa, Thea. Not much prospect of me progressing but I’m sure Elle is in with a chance.

Amazing news, John and Elle! Fingers crossed for the shortlist…

I do too. I’m really annoyed with myself for not entering the last one. I had an idea and half the words down but I ran out of time…

Thanks, @JaneShuff

Congratulations @Johnalty. Lovely news!

I made the long list for the Ink Tears Short Story Competition 2018.

Nice… my kind of prompt.

Oh, wow, Philippa! What a journey! And you are still standing – and your book is going to be in the world. It’s so brilliant to read all of this – the lows and the highs. Thank you so much for posting. And a great big huge Well done! You did it!

Thanks so much, guys. Good advice @bren on the pacing! SO important.

I’ll let you know how the next phase goes…..
