I've competed in every #NotQuiteWritePrize to date and it's one of my favourite competitions and podcasts. It was quite the honour to be interviewed by them. Come and listen to me pretend to know what I'm doing...

It's a romance...promise! Can't believe my pungent little story picked up 5th place! Congrats to the winner and other short listers. #notquitewriteprize @NQWpodcast I do seem to have struck upon a theme - perhaps I'll add "Farting is in his wheelhouse" to my author bio.

Love is in the air? Ah no, sorry, something else... Was really happy with how this story turned out and more so to see it on the #NotQuiteWritePrize longlist. Thank you @NQWpodcast

@tallandtrue That's a great idea! A couple of times in the past I've gotten carried away and got to the end only to realise I'd forgotten one of the prompts.

@one4sixzero I've got the brief on a separate screen with headings for Smells, Sounds, Textures and the required Words, and underneath the lines from my story that satisfy them! 😉

Pushing 40 degrees out in western Sydney today, and as I'm not near a beach, a story about a beach for this month's #furiousfiction is the next best thing. Just a final sound, smell and texture check, and this one's done.

Huge thanks to @AKScotland and @QuiteWriteEd from @NQWpodcast for honoring me with this award. And a shoutout to my fellow shortlist writers, your stories were amazing. I found myself clapping after each reading, as if I were in a theater. I was simply transported by your work.

@AKScotland Couldn't agree more. And all are even more impressive on re-listening and re-reading, especially the top two. 👏 Also, note to self to include an ocker character in January's round.

Bah! I'm calling it a day. My drafts and ideas for the #NotQuiteWritePrize just aren't doing it for me. Distinctly meh. @NQWpodcast I do believe this is your most devious anti-prompt yet.

Bloody hell this was a tough one. Anyway it's done and in. Now let us never speak of it again...well, unless it makes the longlist. 😅 Thanks (I think) @NQWpodcast for a very challenging round and good luck fellow #notquitewriteprize writers!
