To improve my writing and receive some formal feedback on my techniques I entered some writing competitions at the beginning of this year. To my absolute amazement I was declared the winner of two of those genre novel short story contests for The Hybrid Chase, a novel I have not yet completed. This has given me the push I needed to continue on with this story despite my hectic life. Making time for writing is a choice. Even a page a day is important. Sometimes it's easy to get trapped thinking that your writing isn't good enough but let me tell you - it is!
