Well.. I wasn't sure where exactly to put this... but anyway.

Found out that I'm one of the 15 overall winners of the Foyle Young Poet of the Year Award! Who knows if this means anything to anyone, but it meant something to my English teacher! It's a national competition, so pretty good!

I won a week long writing course at The Arvon Centre and... well, there's more but hey, I'm just a bit jittery. It was only the second competition I entered, and has really given me more confidence, poetry-wise.

Sorry for gushing... just had to, y'know.

Mia, well done girl. . . My first competion was years ago and I also won, so I know 100% how your feeling right now. I wanted to scream at the top of my voice, but at the same time, pass it off as a small exercize. No girl, you shout it out and if anyone does think your bonkers, just hold the thought. "How many competions have they won?" I'm up there with your teacher............among the fanstatic and well dones... Regards Jan
