I've been on a couple of shortlists lately, but this one is special. Sense is a charity that campaigns on behalf of deafblind people. In March this year they will host an award ceremony at the Geffrye Museum where Miriam Margolyes will read excerpts from the winning stories. I've been shortlisted in the category, 'writing by any individual on the subject of deafblindness', for my story, A Shanty for Sawdust and Cotton. There are four awards for writing by deafblind people, and I'm excited to hear the winning pieces.

Thank you, Madeline! It was first story I wrote after a brief hiatus in the middle of last year, so I am pleased to see it doing well. I'm glad you enjoyed it.
The honors are just rolling in these days. Sarah, you are on the brink....

Wonderful news, Sarah! Congrats and fingers crossed for you.
You must be attaining minor celebrity status in the world of flash fiction, no? Congratulations! Your hard work is paying off.
Thanks, Tania! How's things with you? Lots of Bristol-based publishing news to discuss, when you've got time for lunch.
Thanks, Lisa! I don't know about celebrity. There are lots of people doing it much better than me, but you're right about the hard work...
