As I've just FINISHED a novel (hold for applause) my 11th year doing #nanowrimo and #campnanowrimo is going to be something different. Building my short story collection, fresh and new with all that I have learned over the years, with the aim to submit to publications and competitions. Stay posted for submission callouts and competition deadlines. #writing #writinggoals #shortstory #shortstorywriter https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpw3NkTycbL/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
