I finally finished my competition entry; a short story of about 1, 800.
I wrote it based on this time when I was 13 and my best friend at the time and I went to the woods and smashed up this big old boombox with a hammer. I think it's pretty good but I don't hold out hope of winning (don't get your hopes you and you can't be dissappointed), although the £2000 prize would certainly be amazing. I'd use it to go to Amsterdam with the guys and then to Berlin to see Nic.
I got my book through today; 'Junior' by Macaulay Culkin. It's second hand from a library in NY. I love that so much! It came from halfway around the world, it has a story, other people have had that in their hands and read it, maybe enjoyed it, maybe didn't, but it still has a part of a soul in it!
And I also have a cut lip from eating a huge everlasting gobstopper. I always got them as a kid, but my mum would throw them out after 2 days...I never got past like 3 layers! So now I am determined to finish this one!
I love this tune!
Oh...and I got another 1st for my film writing!
