I had to sit for that one. I didn't grow up in a culture that celebrated writers achievements, nor was it a culture of trophies. And I had mixed feelings about them, I admit. But now I won have my own trophy all I can say is thank you @writementor

@chickenhsebooks If I have only have the first chapter (1250words) written and presentable, can I still submit? Or does it have to be over 1500 words and preferably more than one chapter?

@AmberCaraveo @metpoliceuk Twenty years in UK and I am still amazed by this fantasy we all participate in believing, the whole world is corrupted but no the UK. And if anyone suggests corruption, they are conspiracists. I come from a country riddled with corruption and the answer is just that, corruption..
