So - only one week to go! At this time next week I'll be somewhere over the Atlantic - yippee!
Of course I'm busy, busy, busy trying to think of stuff to get done before then and to that end I've spent all day dossing about, doing not much at all.
Except - yes, I took the plunge and sent in an entry for the Bridport Prize, flash fiction section.
I've ummed and arred about it for weeks. I've tweaked it here - an extra comma, I've tweaked it there - get rid of that boring bit! Not much scope for over-egging the pudding in a set limit of 250 words.
So wish me luck - I'll let you know that I've definitely lost in September, then you can read it and laugh at my foolish optimism. And at the waste of a seven pound entry fee!
If all goes well, I'll be able to let you know what I haven't been doing tomorrow as well.
(And who thought of putting an 'i' between 'to' and 'let'? Please don't - it's just not funny!)
