And I've submitted, with just under 9 hours to spare... phew!

Now I return to my submission every 30 minutes or so, to add and remove that comma I get stressed about ... 😐

Just finished editing the second draft of my story. I did everything I could to get it to 200 words, then realised it's a maximum of 250... DOH!

At least I have wiggle room!

Wiggle room... gone!
