"Careful or you'll end up in my novel." Great notebook...but is it a threat or a promise!

Quiet week on the writing front. The only writing news I received was that whilst a Flash fiction submission did not make it into Issue 7 of Bare Fiction magazine, the editor would like to keep it to consider for Issue 8. As, he tells me, they publish less than 2% of the submissions they receive, that is better than an outright rejection.

Weary and wheezy!

After five days of fighting off a fluey feeling whilst not missing a moment of the Cambridge Literary Festival, I have succumbed and taken to my bed. As ever, lots of inspiration at the festival, particularly at the Debut Writer's event. But today, all I can do is watch TV (the whole series of London Spy in one go!) as holding a book and focusing is too tiring!
Pleased to say, I've got a quieter few days coming up so I'm going to have a look at the Winchester Writing Competition  and decide what to enter.
