I burst out laughing at the vacuum story! I hope the boot is ok and didn't incur any serious medical injuries from the incident :P
WTG with the story thing. I actually thought it said .... "Moon Topless Great ...." - I was about to ask you for your topless picture. HAHA! :D
I hope you have a wonderful week too :)

Thank you for taking your knickers off and sharing your writing with all of us. lol. I told you you were talented. Did you ever consider the fact that maybe you quit your job for a reason?
Maybe, just maybe, you were meant to publish a book...HINT HINT

First of all Congrats!! Your a great writer and I am glad and very proud of you.
Second I sometimes don't realize how powerful words can be. Saying that, I have never known you to ever say anything intentionlly mean to anyone.

Well, I had no doubt. Talent is talent, good writing is good writing.
With or without knickers.
Not, of course, that I have thought about your knickers.

O! When you told me that you had entered, and to go see if I could pick out which was yours, I thought I had more time. Sigh.
Well, I did do a quick run through of the entries yesterday and picked out some possibilities, and I can truthfully say that yours was among my choices. The writing style sounded like yours which was a tip off...and then, of course, there's your obsession with socks.
Socks aside...
From the beginning, you have dazzled me with your writing. So proud of you. x

CONGRATULATIONS! I really enjoyed reading your entry. They say the best fiction is based on true events.... Please tell me you didn't suffer for your art! Delighted for you! Well done!

Congratulations again on your win. Glad that I got to meet some new folks and see their stories cross the finish line. Also thrilled at how many of the entrants (and winners) were from people who don't generally share their work.
As to the Moon Topless: I get enough search hits for "topples celebs" that I ought to just go ahead and start posting nude shots of folks.
Give the people what they want, right?
Anyway, thanks for entering, and I hope you'll give it a whirl again next time...

Just popped in to say well done on the Moon competition. Your entry was in my votes and I was glad to see that others appreciated it. Nicely done.

The amount of times I've told you to step out of this field of variable-creating, negative doubt that surrounds, and just go and send your writing to anyone and everyone, but you just won't listen.
Doesn't this prove that by writing something like this, and achieving 5th place, probably without even being really dedicated to your writing, show what you can achieve.
You'll never achieve your dream if you just sit there on the rocking chair, swining back and fourth, but not working towards your goal.
I think I speak for everyone who reads and comments on your blog when I say "For god's sake, just bloody well do it".

Way to go Miss U, biggest congratulations on you 5th place. Didn't I say to you months ago, get some of that unpublished stuff into circulation?
I'm with Dan on this one "For god's sake, just bloody well do it" Your writing is so very powerful, no matter what the subject matter and it is a waste, and quite frankly, pretty bloody selfish to keep it all to yourself!! Let's have MORE.
OK, off for a read at The Moon Topples.

Congratulations! What I thought was particularly cool about the story are the little personal touches those of us who've been reading your writing for a while will pick up. Such as the comment about the white socks! I love "in" jokes . . .
Now if you can just keep the cats out of the vacuum cleaner, life would be perfect . . .

I am so proud of you. For winning, but also, for being who you are. For standing in your truth and for being such a good friend.
Laney, you write so beautifully. You deserve to be recognized for it. Congratulations.
And I agree with Darfuria that you should follow your dreams.

Robyn - That goes both ways sweetie. x
Suck Me - I think if it had said that, I wouldn't have won a damn thing! Have a great weekend too :)
Shelly - I would love nothing more. I think it's a bit like not liking the sound of yor own voice though- everyone else sounds so much nicer! My problem is I start something and dry up half way through. You wouldn't believe how many unfinished books I have on the go! Thanks for your lovely words. x
Erika - Thanks for that. x I would never intentionally hurt anybody, but you're right. Words are so powerful.
Ted - Aww thanks. x Seriously? You've never thought about my knickers? Damn!
The Big One - I didn't expect you to vote...what would have been the point in that? It would have been like cheating. I'm really glad I didn't get any votes from people who know me, and that I was chosen by the writers, not the readers. If there's anyone I should be thanking now (taking my award and taking my bow), it's you. I'd never have written a book without you...lol...and I would never have had the courage to do anything like this without your constant support and encouragement. x
Ellie - Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thankfully, it was pure fiction, lol.
The Moon Topples - Thanks to you for a great contest. I'll definitely be doing this again, it was so much fun. Let me know if you need some topless shots. I have lots of friends!
Minx - Thanks so much for your vote...it really means a lot to me that you enjoyed it, especially as they were so many fantastic entries.
Darfuria - Ok! ok! I get your point! I am, at the moment looking into it, alright? I've subscribed to a writer's site which has all sorts of great info for budding writers. Perhaps you should check it out too? I actually saw the perfect competition for you earlier..I'll tell you all about it when you get up :)

Ali - I guess if people keep encouragng me the way you have, I'll have no choice but to listen! Thanks for your support...it means a lot. x
KT - I loved that picture of you on your site by the way, so the kiss is very welcome :) I tend not to write at the weekends because everybody seems to disappear. Where the hell they go, I have no idea, but can't you feel a cold wind sweeping through the place? Hope you enjoy the story. x
GE - Hugs back at ya. x
Cherrie - I couldn't have left the socks bit out, could I? I'm glad you picked up on it! x
Art - Thank you. x
TME -Aww...don't get me all soppy now! Thanks sweetie...for everything. xx
Steve - *gulp* Um...that actually means a lot to me...coming from someone as talented as you. Thank you. x
kissmekate - Thanks so much for commenting. I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

I have links to several pretty good writer's sites, by the way, if you're interested. It's always good to know how the industry works -- that can be at least as mysterious as the whole creative process itself....

Hi Laney! I haven't stopped by in a bit because I've been busy, but it looks like I have some catching up to do. Congratulations on your award! You rock!
But when you say, It feels a bit like taking my knickers off in the middle of Sainsbury’s
I would say, try it and see what it feels like ... but bring a camera please. (There I go getting all naughty again.)
Hugs and kisses Sweetie!

Well done Miss! I'm a big fan of your writing too!
Can't wait to see all the awards down the side of your blog- and now you've got a little confidence up you should go for it!
And PS! Sorry if I reacted strongly in my last comment; though I truly would've reached out across the pond and smacked that person if I could've for the harsh words they said to you!
Mike
· 2 years ago
Well as promised, I've had a read and I think it's excellent, so well done!!!
I'm going to have a go next time to see if I can actually achieve a position other than last, although I realise this is going to be incredible difficult to accomplish.
I'll obviously be writing under a false name to save myself the humiliation.

Mike - Come on down to Exeter....I'll give you diretions!
Kitty - Thanks...I'm glad you liked it. x Actually, I don't think I'll be as terrified next time round...but it's taken a very long time to reach that stage.
rn_bufoon - Oh...I wish, lol! Hey...no apology necessary. I was just trying to do and say the right thing...even if my insides were telling me something different. xx
Mike - You don't need a false name. They don't list who had what votes, so you wouldn't have to suffer any humiliation at all. Anyway, it's all personal preference at the end of the day...the ones I thought deserved a prize didn't get one. I still can't believe I was chosen, because in comparison, my writing looked like a playschool entry! I can't wait to see what you come up with though. x
Kristen - That actually brought a lump to my throat. x
