Thanks to Pamela Gough to the link to this love letters competition. We had one of those recently (Shared by Sharon B if I remember correctly) but I'm pretty sure this one is different. There's a book and £100 on offer for the winner.
This is our current view.

Thanks Patsy & Pamela & to Sharon for original posting - I had quite forgotten that I intended to have a go at that one. So thanks for the reminder everyone, I'll be getting down to it this week
I think it's the same one Patsy!
I just love that view! Not much writing news here. Like some others on this blog, I usually get more done in the winter.
Ooh lovely view Patsy! and thanks for the comp info which I forgot to bookmark last time.
Thank you, Pamela, Sharon and Patsy. I should give that one a go.You do realise, Patsy, there's probably an app somewhere that can locate your exact spot! Nope, I wouldn't know how to do it either!;)
The results of the My Weekly story competition have been announced on their FB page. I didn't get anywhere with my Xmas romance, so it'll go elsewhere.
I didn't expect to get anywhere really, so I'm not too disappointed.
I know Erin said she'd had some, but has anyone else had any Xmas story sales yet?
It's zero for me.
@Sharon No Sharon I haven't had any response to two Christmas short stories that I submitted so probably a no then. Might try my luck elsewhere with them. It's always difficult to know when the cut off point is for Christmas stories as different magazines have very different dates for same
I'd hang on until the end of September. I'd say around the middle of October is a final cut off point.
Lovely photo Patsy, looks so peaceful.
No Christmas story news here either.
I have however finished editing The Italian Connection for self publishing which will have the beautiful cover by Hannah which I won via this blog.
I am absolutely delighted at how it turned out and can't thank you, Patsy, and Hannah enough, and I can't wait for it to be shared with Womag blog.
The Val Wood competition looks lovely, and I was writing a story for it... but I just read last year's winners' stories, and see that the winner last year was completely AI generated. (It sounded like AI, and QuillBot and Scribbr confirmed it.)
That just gives me the ick.
Oh I see. I would have thought most competition organisers would state no AI entries but this one didn't, or forgot to include it in their rules.
Maybe they didn't know it was AI generated, if it was sent in by a writer.
That's a real shame. Was that recognised by the organisers of the competition?
