Excellent post. And today I got over myself, sat down and finished the damn story. I’ve left it for now to think about its behaviour and I’ll check in with it in a couple of days. Not sure it’s submittable (is that a word? I know it is not the right attitude) but it’s what emerged! Happy writing, everyone. Thanks for the pep talk!
Yay, way to go! Hope we'll get to read it in our competition submission queue! Now I need to get over myself, and finish the damned story I'm working on! :))

I have another tale I wrote a while back that feels more ‘competition ready’. I’ll go back to that one and see if I can hustle up some courage.
I’ve just proofed the most recent one and I reckon I’ll pop it out tomorrow, a bit of a Fiction Friday offering.
Thanks for the encouragement … hope you get that story finished too, notwithstanding Thomas Mann’s thoughts on the matter!
We all need a Donal or Anne Marie 🫶🏼
