An even bigger ego boost

I've just found out that I am one of the 100 winners of the Writers' & Artists' Yearbook Novel Writing Competition. Have jumped around my bedroom A LOT. This couldn't have come at a better time -69 thousand words in and trying not to edit earlier chapters while I write the final three, and battling with the conviction that the whole thing should just go through the shredder. I know I'm showing off, but I can't help it!
Love Clare xxx

Hi Clare,

Congratulations, that is a fantastic achievment! and you have every right to be pleased with yourself (or "showing off" - as you put it)
Well done! D x

wow well done you. I used to write poetry but havent written anything for a couple of years. I always found it such a release though. I envy your ability to write a book, keep going not everyone has such dedication.
