After a few recent comp DNFs, I WILL complete my NQW entry for April. Bring on those prompts!!!! #anyteamwilldo (yes, I also now have Jason Donovan singing in my head).

So all stories have to involve John Travolta?

I knew this story would do well 🥰 Congratulations ❤️

I finally got my youngest to stop calling me poo poo - thats good news for me at least!

DNF for all three rounds but thats ok. Had other things that got in the way. Still have a couple of ideas from the prompts though. One that might even transition from 'cosy' to flesh... if you run that comp again that is!!

DNF for all three rounds. When life gets in the way, it gets in the way. Lol. Clearly Im conserving my energy for April's NQW!

Good luck with R2. I didn't complete (or start) R1 but I have a vague idea to work with for future. Let's see if I can manage R2!

I will most certainly be a DNF, at least for R1. Sometimes life gets in the way. Fingers crossed for R2.

Panic over. It might start at the weekend for you and your future timezone but it starts on the Monday for me so I'm ok 😊

Ooh I'd forgotten. And I'm away this weekend for my eldest boys 8th bday 😬

It is a bloody fantastic story!

Especially since one of my writing friends Zara placed! I know how stoked she was to make the LL. Not sure of she's seen yet so havent messaged her yet!

Im so happy... Zara is one of my writing friends through Globe Soup. I had read this story before submission and had a feeling it would do well 😊

Sleeping. But I know what I'm waking up to!

😂

Yur story was fabulous!

Or 1am tomorrow for those of us in the UK!! Its ok, perimenopause wakes me frequently in the night so I may be able to start listening soon after the drop 😂

Very excited. You’ll be a fabulous NQW judging addition!

We live by screens.

Just finished listening to the shortlisted and winning stories and my goodness, they're fantastic. Congratulations to the top six. 👏

I'll have two kids running around. Not sure how I'm gonna listen to this while entertaining them 😂
