In the last few weeks, I have received an honourable mention in the Writers of the Future contest for my piece 'What A Day' (which began from a prompt on this site) and today I found out I've made the long list for Black Springs Press's Best of Bottom Drawer global writing competition for my Jeremiah Flint western stories.
I'd never written prose fiction until I joined the site in late 2014. Something to think about.
