Competition WINNER!

​

December 21, I won the Marjorie Green Competition Cup for my short story entry with the Walsall Writers’ Circle and now there are two cups on my desk… albeit one which is shinier and puts a bigger smile on my face

I can’t believe it!!

I was so super chuffed and feel like it's given me a little spring in my step.

​

I joined the Writers’ Circle in the October of the same year and I was a little nervous attending that first meet, but the members are all just wonderful! They’re so welcoming and it really is such a safe space to explore writing and share ideas with others that have a love for the written word.

 

Moments like this make me feel like I’m on the right path.

I will cherish this cup for the next twelve month… it will be in pride of place in my office and whenever I feel the doubts creeping in, I will look at it and think ‘yes you can’.

​

My story ‘The Tomlin Brothers’ was sparked by a little sketch illustration created for #inktober2021 challenge on Instagram and it just goes to show how it can be the little things that can lead to the most wonderful self achievement no sketch or written word is ever wasted!
