A TROPHY ON MY SHELF

Last night the results of the latest competition for the Dunedin Writer's Workshop was announced. Actually, being the president, I've known who the winners were for a week or more, but of course was sworn to secrecy.

The theme for our 3000 word story was crime/mystery and as I mentioned back in June here, I wrote about a stagecoach journey.  And now I'm very pleased to be able to tell you that I won first place!

After all the stops and starts and various interruptions to my writing this year, winning the trophy is just the shot in the arm I need.

    How could you keep it a secret! It must have been hard. A very big congratulations, though. :D

    I'll come back later and read your crime/mystery, Sue. I couldn't wait to say congrats first. :)

    Thank you Joanne. I must admit to leaking the news to just a couple of close friends - I'd burst otherwise!
