I
have just found out that my Au Revoir short story, which I entered into the
Global Short Story Competition back in September, was one of six short-listed. This
story grew from a creative writing exercise I did with my creative writing group
where we wrote a short story using the following prompts:- moving house, a
funeral, starting a new job and the end of an affair. In my usual gloomy style I chose “a funeral”
as my prompt. They patiently listened to me read it out and
gave me valuable feedback so thanks! The story can be found under the short story section of this blog.
Yay for you!! I loved this story and its lovely twist at the end. We should bring champagne to writer's group tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteWell done, that's great news! I'm sure they received a lot of entries, so being one of six shortlisted is a massive achievement. I remember the story well and thought it was well worth submitting somewhere. I was right!
ReplyDeleteThanks Evelyn and Vanessa. The feedback you both gave me really helped. Although I didn't win being shortlisted is definitely a step in the right direction!
ReplyDeleteLooks like that tap,tap,tapperty tap on the keyboard is paying off. well done.
ReplyDeleteOh well done! It's a great story too and deserves being short-listed
ReplyDeleteOh thanks Victoria. I'm glad you enjoyed reading it.
