Super Rabbit beaten by Zombie

 Oh, well. 'Super Rabbit' my entry for the Liskeard Library Short Story Competition did not get placed. Here's the 'rejection': Many thanks for your participation in the Liskeard Library Short Story Competition. With so many fantastic entries, it was no small task for our Inaugural Writer in Residence, Peter McAllister, to whittle things down to just ten short listers, then choose one overall winner from that shortlist.

Peter McAllister (Competition Judge) said, "The standard of entries was incredibly high and I’d like to congratulate all those who entered on producing such fantastic work. From love and loss in Eighteenth century Cornwall to zombie apocalypses in eastern Asia, it was great fun to read and judge. All shortlisters and our overall winner should be particularly proud and I wish them all the best in their future writing."

Beaten by a zombie LOL

  My Flash Fiction entry to eggpusfrog.com Flash Fiction Competition is now available to read on their site. It missed out on making the top 10 by a whisker.  Here's what they said on Instagram:  "Today we welcome Stephen Newland to the Word Hoard! This quirky bit of flash fiction takes us on a class trip to a rotting badger. There, a group of school flies learn all about the Buzz! It's pretty gross, but also pretty great."

Uncharted Cinematic Short Story Competition

 I entered this competition yesterday on deadline day. I had developed an exciting sci-fic fantasy story which I felt matched the dynamics visually for what they were looking for. Whether it will catch the eye or feel too cliched will remain to be seen, but I enjoyed telling the tale. Originally entitled The Cutting Engine, I changed the name to I Create Monsters. Who knows, it may strike a chord with someone. And the Americans do appreciate talent LOL.

National Poetry Day - Counting On You

Image
It's National Poetry Day here in the UK. This years prompt/theme is: Counting. Poetry is not really my bag, but I thought I'd get into the spirit and came up with this ditty: Counting On You When the sun fails to come up, When the walls close in, When the weather turns sour, When the mood monster closes, When the day is done. I know I can count on you to lift me into life again. SCN 03/10/24
