Do I stay up til 1am for the NQW longlist announcement or do I have a good night sleep and have a look in the morning??? @notquitewrite.com

Loved writing my #notquitewrite entry for October. Turns out that writing and editing on a 5 hour journey up north when there’s a deadline looming was surprisingly doable! @notquitewrite.com

First ever shout out on a podcast for my writing! Thank you @notquitewrite.com @akscotland.bsky.social and Ed (I can’t find your blue sky handle 🤪🫣)

Delighted to be a top tier finalist for Globe Soups Flaskback Fiction competition! Have had a reread and almost immediately spotted errors! I am really hoping in the only Rachel Green who entered!

@notquitewrite.bsky.social - great podcast ep! I have a much better understanding of the weaknesses of my January entry! I think my story was a ruminating beat, not a full story… I am so excited to have another go this weekend!!!!

#twistedtournament Round 1 results! First place! 🏆I’m determined to enjoy the moment despite encroaching imposter syndrome and the knowledge that there’s only one way to go from here! 😂

@notquitewrite.bsky.social Wow. I loved entering this contest. Just listened to the shortlist episode. The reading of these exceptional stories made them come alive and enhanced their already incredible quality. Thanks guys - and congratulations to the shortlisters! I’m inspired!
