Yes, this year has kind of gone January, Febru, Maprimajujausonov...

Hope you'll send something this year, Jenny. Always wonderful to consider your words 🤩

Isn't it fab?! As yours was. So many good entries to last year's award. Can't wait to see what gets sent in this year.

Of course. Can't not have the Welkin. I've even been updating the Welkin website 😀 Had to find a solution to my website having too many pages without deleting stories 😬

Such a gem, Guan. A pleasure to nominate it alongside all these other brilliant pieces.

You're welcome, Coleman. Such original writing. Hope you're working on something equally startling for this year's competition!

A pleasure to nominate this brilliant piece! Hope you're crafting something equally wonderful for this year's competition. Just over a month until entries open up!!
