I seem to be on a lucky streak at the moment – not that it extends to the lottery, but you can’t have everything. Besides I’ve had my three lovely happenings plus one extra.
I entered a story in the Reedsy Prompts competition in which my protagonist had to go through a rite of passage. I was shortlisted! Although I was pleased about this it is the comments that have boosted my confidence. Forgive me for bragging (I could have put more) but it’s so good that things are at last looking up.
Extremely well written piece. Deserves to be shortlisted.
Loved this Susan … I appreciated the tone, social commentary, the introspection. A good read …
It was Madeley Carnival on Saturday, and I was lucky enough to have a table. The weather was atrocious, but the mood was great. It was lovely to meet up with existing friends and to make new ones. I was given ideas for stories which I’m working on ready for the next event. On top of all that I sold loads of books.

I was invited to Hanley ComicCon on Sunday. I worked in the Hanley area for many, many years so was looking forward to seeing if there was anyone there I knew. It took a minute to recognise Peter. He had a hat on. Psychologists say it works as a disguise. They’re right. Either that or I’m going senile.
My friend Paula came for a chat, bought a book and fetched me some lunch. Brilliant. These are her pictures by the way. I sold loads of books and was able to chat with some really nice people.
The plus one of the three lovely things that have happened – a woman DM’d me because she was so pleased with the book her partner had bought for her. That really was the cherry on the cake.
