So busy!


You might have noticed I've not been posting or commenting as much as usual. I did have a bad cold (recovering now) but mostly it's because I've been really busy with non writing stuff. That's going to be the case for a while now, so apologies in advance for any sparseness, or even half completed posts! I'm hoping something now and again is better than nothing at all.


A lot of the business involves photography, some of which I'll randomly share. (Nothing new there!)

Free entry writing competitions.


Thanks to Marguerite and Sharon B for the link to this free poetry competition. There's lots of time to come up with something funny (which is what they want). There's a £25 book token prize for the winner in each category.

Patsy - the link to 'free to enter writing competitions' doesn't seem to work although the link to Sharon and Marguerite's free poetry comp does - or is it just my old machine having a silly moment. Please have a lovely time with your photography work and post whenever you can. Thank you. Kind regards, Sue A

Thanks as always Patsy for the time and effort that goes into this blog. I hope that all is well and look forward to seeing your posts whenever time allows. Take care and best wishes with new book.

I can't get the link to work either. Congratulations on the new book Patsy and good luck with all your projects. I hope all goes well. I shall enjoy reading whatever posts you are able to do.
Different subject. I heard that I am a runner up in TPF poetry competition which I first saw here so thank you. It was a lovely surprise especially as things have been so quiet.

Well done to all with positive news. Best of luck with your new book, Patsy. Well, at least someone has heard back from the TPF poetry comp! Well done Sue. I assume that my entry hasn't got anywhere. I still haven't heard from April at BOWW.

Marguerite said...

Congratulations, Sue! If it helps, after the... double figures? submissions I have sent to BOWW, I've not had one reply over the couple of years. (Only ever out of office.) I hope all is going well, Patsy, and yes, like some have already said, posting when you are able is fine. BTW, I think the 'Free to enter writing comps' bit is a sub-heading? Not sure.

Congratulations to Sue.McV. Well done on the poetry comp.
I've just written my first Christmas story. There will be a call out for them soon!

Patsy, any posts at all are always a plus, but best wishes with your non-writing activities, too. I always love to see the photos from your travels. Sue, congratulations on your poetry success! And Alyson, The People's Friend issued a call-out for Christmas stories on Twitter/X last week! Time to put the carols on ...

Great post!

I agree with others - it’s great just to have this place to come on and keep in contact with each other. Many thanks Patsy.

Thanks everyone!

There's been more 'stuff' since I posted this, so apologies for a very patchy blog! (I'm perfectly fine - there's just the stuff to deal with.)
