    Just got news that a short story I recently submitted for a creative writing comp has won second prize!! Was bursting to tell someone as they haven't officially announced winners yet. This is the first time I have ever entered anything and am just thrilled. :D

    Congratulations. Is the prize anything good?

    It's in Irish, not published yet and I get a grand which is cool! It's such an encouragement to keep writing though.

    That's serious money. All I ever win is Cross pens and wine. Well done.

    Irish, eh? Well if they'll accept stories that are nothing but the phrase "is maith lion milsean" repeated over and over again I'll give it a go!
