Most of the markets I'd submit to are shut at the moment too so... yeah. Also, my One Good Success was, like, 18 months ago now. Bleugh.

So that's something. I'll link when the publisher actually announces it proper.

They had just announced that there was a problem, and I was going to be stuck there for quite a while longer than expected. I checked my email, and saw a message from The Caterpillar - a magazine I had subscribed to for the kids, announcing a story competition. So whilst waiting for the car I wrote a thing.
It won.
All of which makes it even more embarrassing that I haven't written anything else, but as part of the prize is to go on a writer's retreat, maybe I'll finally find some time to address that...
