I'm quite surprised to say, I did it. I managed to rattle off three stories for three competitions, all due in between the 14th and 15th of February, over three days between Saturday and Monday. They totalled around 7,000 words. That might not seem like much, but it wasn't a case of being able to work on them full-time - that's one luxury I dream of. Around trying to write about Superstition, Autograph Hunters, and the open short story category of the VS Pritchett Memorial Prize, for which I had to come up with a genre, category and concept, I had to fit all the normal duties of housework, shopping, working, etc, along with my niece's first birthday party (which was fantastic fun). So I'm pleased that I managed to complete them at all.
Much thanks to my proofing collective of Tom, Claire and my mum, for reading through all my bumpf. Now I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for another few months...
