Another month, another smory!

Another month has flown by and another of my smories has been selected for their competition!

To see "Sister for sale", a poem very close to my heart, go to http://www.smories.com/watch/sister-for-sale/

Being the youngest of four girls, I would have sold every one of my sisters for the same reason as the girl in my poem but you'll have to watch it to find out what it is.

This poem written for and recited by my youngest daughter at the local eisteddfod and she won first place. I was so proud. She also won first place with "Help, my bum..." and my oldest daught received an honourable mention with "This means war," a poem about our dog and cat's incessant fighting which will be added to my website shortly. Another young girl, Denae, won first place with my poem, "Nature." Well done girls!

This month also saw the confirmation of my mentorship through the NSW writers centre. I am hoping this experience will be worth the wait, but I will keep you posted. I am very thankful to David Ryding for his patience and commitment to providing a quality service for new and existing authors. I can't wait!

Finally, September is the first month of spring, the month of my birthday, and perhaps a good month for starting a new writing project in a new genre. I feel a historical masterpiece coming on...!
