I have some bad news for @akscotland.bsky.social — I can’t resist a flawed character!

“What is magic but a change in the world? What is conjugation but a transformation, one thing into another? She runs; she ran; she will run again.”

@amalelmohtar.com has written a whimsical masterpiece where every sentence is lyrical and lush. 💐

She reads; she read; she will read this book again.

Always an honour to make that sweet, sweet longlist!
Thanks to @notquitewrite.com for the shoutouts for my take on the prompt and my reference to that big ol' shoe in Tully — The Golden Gumboot. What a way to end the anti-prompt era! 🥰

Gobsmacked that I’ve placed first in BOTH rounds, and now I’m off to the finals! 🏆

Francois Gilot was a glorious woman who pioneered her art career despite years of abuse. She died only recently in 2023, aged 101. 🎨

Managed to crack the top 10 for the first time in @twistinthetale.bsky.social for my third round story “Are You a Parking Ticket?”, which got a clean sweep of ’most heartfelt‘ trophies, amongst others. ❤️
Also clawed my way onto the final leaderboard—20th overall! 🥳

I survived the @notquitewrite.com April bloodbath to make the longlist! I’m honoured to be the first mention of the ‘crazy and impressive ideas’ segment even though I put some very darling darlings on my petrol-fueled chopping block 🔥

As of June 10th, I will be a ✨published✨ author! I wrote my 300-word short story ‘Godmothers, Godgirls’ late last year when I started writing flash fiction and now it’s found its forever home in Flash Fiction Magazine. I am so many emotions.
