Hiya Brian – thanks for posting those. Sorry not to have visited for a while. Are u going to the launch of novel fair on the 27th June?
Hi Louise. Cant make it to the Novel Fair launch I’m afraid, but hope to enter it again – we’ll see. Hope you’re good – getting near your launch date soon also!
Thanks, Brian. Deadlines are handy to aim for even if you don’t win
They sure are Valerie – there’s always a poem or story in the drawer that’s worth going back to I reckon and a deadline can be just the thing to prompt you
