Do you know any market news? Have you heard about any free to enter writing competitions? Or come across calls for submissions or other opportunities?
Are you researching, writing, subbing? Had any acceptances or rejections? Still waiting to hear back on outstanding submissions? Do you have a question? Can you offer tips or encouragement to other writers?
Any other writing related news, questions and comments are also welcome and appreciated. As well as allowing us all to share information, help and encourage each other, comments show editors, competition organisers and others that the blog is read and will therefore be more likely to answer my questions, or provide information for me to share with you.
Feel free to use these photos as picture prompts. If you'd like written writing prompts, short exercises and story/scene suggestions then you might find this book useful.
My news
I'll be at a book fair in Aspex, Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth tomorrow 11-4. If you're in the area, do come in and say hello.
One of my many talents is taking books out of a box. Well, talent might not be quite the right word...

This week I had one acceptance & one rejection (but kindly & constructively put). My exciting news is that I found out the destiny of one of my stories is TPF annual 2026, thrilled with that. Other than that I know of no competitions or other writing opportunities. I'm trying to work albeit very slowly on a longer piece of work.
Good luck at the book fair tomorrow Patsy
I'm taking a long break from womag writing. Well done to all with sales, acceptances or good news.
One of my stories is reaching the 12 week deadline with Andrew at Woman's Weekly so it looks like that one is a rejection. Shame as I was really pleased with it. It happens like that sometimes doesn't it. I've got one due out in January with them so it's not all gloom. Also sent one off this week to the Manilitfest competition that was posted here a few weeks ago.
