So did I achieve my Write1Sub1, goal (to write one piece of fiction and submit one piece for publication) this month? YES, Not only did I achieve this goal, because I submitted another short piece for a competition
A letter arrived at the end of April from
Writing Magazine/ Writer's News
saying: Many thanks for entering the competition in Writing Magazine. I am very pleased to inform you that your entry was selected and you have won. Congratulations! Please find your prize enclosed. It was an mobile notes digital e-pen.
I'm delighted and stunned.
I believe my winning entry will appear in the (next) June issue of the magazine. I'm so excited.

While I haven't written anymore on my WIP. I have been doing lots of thinking/ planning about it while having my blog break. Although I didn't write as much as I had wanted, I got lots of non-writing stuff done that has been dragging me down and crushing my writing creativity.

Great news. I'm a subscriber so I'll look out for that.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! You should be very proud of yourself. The whole month of April has flown by in an A-Z Challenge blur for me. So, other than blogging, not much else in the way of writing for me this month, darn it. Although, you could say I got in a LOT of exercise. MUCH more than usual. More than I've done in YEARS, matter of fact. (Blog-hopping IS considered an exercise, right?)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Hurray for you!!! It's awesome you made your goal -- and exceeded it!
ReplyDeleteI met my goal. I got a helluva good start on my new WIP while I wasn't blogging for the month of April.
Hey Madeleine,
ReplyDeleteHearty congrats on your writing achievement. I don't blame you for being excited and kudos to you, my friend.
I had an article appear in 'Better Gnomes and Gardens' :)
In kindness and admiration, your way, Gary
Big congratulations! That's wonderful! :)

ReplyDeleteThe digital pen looks cool, too. Nice.
Congratulations Maddy!! Awesome to win a prize too :) Love the Snoopy, lol.

Hi Madeleine .. that's fantastic - congratulations .. and I'm so pleased for you.
ReplyDeleteNow how does that mobile thingy work?
Wow I bet you're pleased you concentrated on your writing and not doing the A - Z ...
Lots of happy dances going on down in Devon - maybe you're puddling and splashing around doing your dance - hope you're not swamped out.
Cheers Hilary
YaY! Big things for you! Congratulations on both fronts.
ReplyDeleteBless you all. Thank you :O)

ReplyDeleteWow! Good for you! That's fantastic. :)
ReplyDeleteI would like to enter a writing competition someday, but I haven't found one that fits me. Since I'm not 18 yet, I'm not eligible for a lot of the big contests.
Many sincere congratulations Maddy. So exciting! Isn't it wonderful to get a letter like that in the mail.
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling refreshed after your blog break.
BTW I found those comments of yours. Google had sent them to my Spam comment box. Found them just now. Mystery solved, except why does Google think you're spamming me?
