Still plugging away

I'm still plugging away, editing and redrafting stories, sending out to more competitions, trying my hand at online stuff too. It's demoralising most of the time, but sometimes you get a lift that makes it all worthwhile. I've been shortlisted for a flash fiction competition, but results won't be known for weeks. I hate the waiting, especially as I've never won, but have been shortlisted several times. I think being on the finals list and not winning, is even worse than not making the finals list! I'll keep you posted.
