Not such a brilliant day today as I have been feeling very sorry for myself. I have checked the Peter Barry blog (I entered their short story competition) and they have now uploaded 8 of the shortlisted works but mine is still not there. Not that I expect bells and whistles or even think mine must have been the best story. I suppose I was too exited and had convinced myself that I would at least be shortlisted. There are 4 more stories to be revealed yet so I suppose it's not over till the fat lady sings.
There are a few other things which haven't gone my way today and I would love to tell you about them but I am unable to at the moment, perhaps in a week or two. Thankfully I am blessed with a good friend who lets me rant without judgement - a rare friend indeed.
Tomorrow I am in the shop and that never fails to lift my mood so hopefully then I will stop feeling so hard done by and actually manage to crack a smile AND after my shift get some writing done. Wish me luck guys.
About Me
- Rae Argent
- A fiction writer and mum to three great kids, also lucky enough to be married to the man of my dreams. In spite of that mushy comment I do not write flowery romance - I like a nice helping of real life grit in my work. I have a Diploma in Literature & Creative Writing from The Open University and remain a member of the wonderful Watford Writers, despite moving on several times. I am a big fan of Swanwick Writers Summer School which has taught me a great deal and where I have made many great friends. I have yet to reach the dizzy heights of becoming a published superstar but will continue to send my work out into the world.
GOOD LUCK RAE :-)
