I have to say, I was quite excited just waiting for the results. I get like that each week that I enter Write Invite too - I can't wait for Wednesdays to see if I've been shortlisted. Does anyone recognise themselves in this scene from the Simpsons?
good, good, good, and oh so smart! Grade me!

So why aren't I entering more competitions? I could have this wonderful feeling of anticipation a lot more frequently. So here goes, another new start is declared! With this lovely confidence boost fresh in my mind, I am going to really get stuck into the writing now. 10 hours a week minimum. I'm going to block it into my diary again like I do with the gym. Pah, the housework can wait. Or maybe I could spend my winnings on a cleaner!!
How much does a cleaner cost? Nah, order more wine, Melanie!
ReplyDeleteWell done for your win in the 'hard-copy' comp - is this the one you sent off with about 90 seconds in hand?
Mel, that's great news about the competition, well done! How can I read your piece? Can you send me details about write invite? Rob
ReplyDeleteThanks CekaTB - have we met before? More wine is definitely the way to go :-) Yes, this was the one I sent off at the last minute. Although, to be fair, the other comp submission I have out now was also sent at the last possible second. It appears to be my modus operandi!
ReplyDeleteThanks Rob, I still can't believe it! I could email you the story if you like? I'll facebook you the write invite details now - just logged on to enter this week and my charger wouldn't work so I missed it! Unlucky!
