Well, this has cheered me up a bit – I’ve been shortlisted in Esther Newton’s Flash Fiction competition! Thanks, Esther 🙂

That’s wonderful.
Thank you 🙂 It’s part of my new resolution to enter at least one short story competition per month. If nothing else, I’ll get a nice collection of stories at the end of it!
You know I’m a big believer in short form. Tally-ho.
I do indeed! 🙂
Well done, Helen.
Thanks, Mick 🙂
Congrats, Helen! You’re dedication to enter a competition each month is amazing. Wow. Good luck to you 🙂
Thank you! Will see how long I can keep it going for, anyway 🙂
Congratulations. I wish I could have said the same, but I guess I can only try harder next time. Good luck!
Thanks, Allie, and commiserations too xx
Well if I have to lose, at least it is to good people
That’s very nice of you to say xx You’re good people too 🙂
And I hope you’re weathering the current political storm okay, too x
It’s been an interesting day but I’m still here and my neighbors still my neighbors. We’ll make the best of it as we always do.
It’s all we can do, really – just keep moving forwards.
