.....I've won second prize in Writers' Forum Short Story
competition. Happy days! It's for a short story I wrote AGES ages ago
- Alegra's Fairy Tale Wedding. I subbed it to all the Womags (except
Peoples Friend - it certainly isn't a PF story!) and got no-where. You
read about "moving on" in the writing world - i.e. forget the
rejections and write something else. But....sometimes you just love a
story and believe in it.
This is what I
felt/feel about AFTW, so I didn't give up and subbed it just before
Christmas to Writers' Forum. Then in January a lovely email from Sue
Moorcroft saying it had been shortlisted; and then last week another
email from Sue saying it has come second (£150.00 prize as well!)
The story will be in March's (26th) publication so I'm looking forward to seeing my name in print (at last). Caroline x
