Write '07
Hey, I won a piece of paper! I got a 'Highly Commended' for my story 'A Crisp Morning'. I was pipped for the overal prize by an excellent poem. A very poignant tribute to one departed. It's quite nice to be recognised and it's 3 successes in a month now.But there's the big prize - the book. If only.... ho hum (deep sigh)
The judges said:
Highly Commended: A Crisp Morning by Geraint Roberts from NorthamptonJudges' comments: "A readable story with a good structure and pace. It has some lovely descriptions, which draw you in, and a cryptic ending."Prize: Certificate
I now have to write more short stories - I'm almost running out. 2 have been commited to paper. one I like a lot. Watch this space!

I did actually record the winning entry for the radio and for once, I thought I didn't do a bad job, so have asked for the recording. Unfortunately, after a few queries and 'maybe' promises, I don't see it happening. Time and people are moving on, but it was an enjoyable day. Guys, I toast you with my BBC Radio Northampton mug!
