I wasn't sure I'd get through to R2 of the NYC Rhyming comp so having a long weekend with that, & straight into the #TwistedTournament #WritingCompetition is a shock to the system 🤔😱 ... Going to be another busy 6 days #CreativeWriting & 8 days #PeerJudging 💜❤️😎

Good luck to everyone taking part 🍀🤞😎

Yes! Success in writing a story...
Whether it's scary enough is another matter entirely.

Also, only 8 hours left on the clock... few!

It's been judging day for the Jesmond Creative Writing Competition, and it is honestly one of my favourite days of the year. Some truly excellent entries this year, as always...
Can't wait for prize-giving night now!

Done!

After much editing and tightening and editing, I have a passable story. We'll see what happens from here...

That was tricky 🤔 After not having so much as #WritersBlock but rather #BrainFreeze akin to downing 16 ice-creams on the trot (The Horror 😱💜❤️🤣) I've submitted my #500Word #FlashFiction to #TheBoobyPrize #WritingCompetition - I've taken a few risks with this but hopefully it lands well in judging 🙃😏😎

Yep, it was all me. I forgot to post yesterday. And then left it for a good 18-ish hours... 👀
