Wow...

A very nice thing happened this morning.

A while ago I entered a writing competition in the fabulous 'Wannabe a Writer' book written by the fantastic Jane Wenham Jones http://janewenham-jones.com and have been stalking the website http://wannabeawriter.moonfruit.com regularly for news of the results.

Good news - I made the long list!!

I've never entered my writing into anything (besides the bin) before so this was a shock to say the least. I was actually shaking for about half an hour after I saw my name! :-)

Do you know what? It would be lovely to go further in the contest, but I'm just so chuffed that someone other than my family has verified that my writing isn't totally unfortunate!

Anyways, would like to wish the rest of the long- listers good luck! Fingers crossed!
