The Eye of the Storm

Post number 2.

It’s been a couple of months since my last post and I’ve been busy: 5 Competition submissions and 2 more to a live anthology, totalling up at just under 30k words.

Not bad, I’d say. Not my best, but I wasn’t working full time, then, either.

I’ve received bad news, and good news, but it’s the good news I’m focussing on. At this point, I’ve received so many rejections it’s not an event anymore. But the sweet hit of dopamine when that ‘Congratulations’ come through is like no other.

A Quest for Fame has been published on The RC Sherriff Trust site after being ‘Commended’ in their recent competition!

No payout with this one, but I’m not doing this for money. Indeed, if there’s one piece of advice that I’ve found across all the biographies and guides I’ve read it’s: Don’t do it for the money.

But it is a step. The second one, at that.

So what else can I say except: Watch this space…
