@akscotland.bsky.social I was gonna have banh mi for lunch but I decided to remind myself what you're missing out on with this (loaded baked potato) poutine. Sorry mate you're on the wrong side of history on this one :^)

@notquitewrite.com Loved the prompts on this one, so why did this one kick my ass? Probably the hardest comp yet for me. Maybe bit off more than I could chew? Oh well, sleepy time.

Sometimes I think of starting a blog where I discuss my thoughts on writing craft, and all my posts are titled something along the lines of, "Save the cat, but also the cat is mangy and your protagonist sort of hates saving them."

🥳 I know with 9 genres now, the genre pool is smaller, but still my first time breaking into the top 16! And I only ended up getting knocked out by the eventual winner, so that's not a bad balm for the sting either 😄

In case you're reading this babe, just for the record, I totally would still love you if you were a worm. @notquitewrite.com

Holy moly 😭 Incredibly honoured to place second again. I also feel the need to say to the lovely folks at @notquitewrite.com I don't only write about terrible things happening to people... I'm gonna try to diversify for the next round and give your hearts a break...

Ngl wasn't expecting to see they got Lionel Ritchie to sing for Chinese New Year (ignore by girlfriend's dad's pet crickets). A bit late, but 新年快乐!

got my submission in for @notquitewrite.com. But idk, is it a winner? Not feeling 100% about this one. You might say its a write-off :^)

Rum in eggnog is so tired. Try something new this holiday season with a Beef Noganoff.

@notquitewrite.com I started listening/entering the prize this year so I guess I had quite the backlog to work through :^)

Should I wake up before 9 AM EST tomorrow and do one last read through and panic edit? Time and my morning grogginess shall tell. @notquitewrite.com

Neat!!! :^) But hearing Ed read out my line was arguably neater. @quitewriteed.bsky.social if Simon and Schuster ever sign me can I send any audiobook reading contracts your way? Audiobooks need more Aussie baritone.

@notquitewrite.com It says "Never Again" but I do this every competition.

Listening to the @notquitewrite.com shortlist episode and @akscotland.bsky.social's story about not being taken shooting with her Dad and brother made me think of Alice Munro's story "Boys and Girls". @akscotland.bsky.social if you're interested in any short story recs, there's mine 👀
