Bright red round entry badge for the Welkin Writing Prize with the text 'Cosmic Chronicler' in white surrounded in gold stars.
Recuperating on the sofa after a busy flash-filled weekend & sending off some new words into the universe. 'Cosmic Chronicler' feels very appropos, cause you can't spell chronicler without chronic [illness]! 💃 #WelkinWritingPrize @welkinprize.bsky.social

I don't want to alarm anyone, but it's now just TWO WEEKS until entries open for the #WelkinWritingPrize 2026!!!
However, if you count like @smokelong.bsky.social (this is a thing apparently), it may also be 13 days, 71 elephants or 0.035 rotations around the sun...
