Bookline & Thinker Novel Writing Competition
Well I’ve done it! I’ve entered a novel writing competition with Hoodwin, the big project I’m working on at the moment. I’m fairly nervous. I think it was a really good excercise, whatever the outcome, since I had to write a synopsis which meant I had to sit down and figure what is actually going to happen. Plus I had to vigorously edit the first 10,000 words of the story (it currently stands about 20,000 – in terms of your average novel I should be a quarter of the way though the story now) for the submission.
The first prize is an actual publishing contract. This would, of course, be absolutely wonderful. The only drawback is that if I do win (massive, massive ‘if’) then the final draft of the novel has to be in in June. That would mean putting a bit of a rush on it.
But I shall cross that incredibly unlikely bridge should I ever wander up to it.
Fingers crossed in the mean time.
I should post some of the big project on here soon; I would be pleased to know what everyone thinks.
Thank you to you!
I just want to say thank you to everyone who has taken an interest in my little project here and thank you again for all the kind comments you’ve given me.
I hope you continue to enjoy my little bits and pieces and if you have any questions or, indeed, any requests of the sort of things you’d like to read in the future, just let me know!
Welcome to my Web Log
Hello and welcome to my Web Log. I intend to use this to track and share my various writing projects, old and finished pieces as well as new and progressing ones. I hope to post my short stories, poetry and other sorts of pieces for others’ consideration and, hopefully, enjoyment. I have always been keen to share my work with others and I hope to find this a way to do so consistently and frequently.
I sincerely hope you enjoy what you find.
