Hmm... Dean has also quoted this number in his cryptic tweets. Clearly a strong story. Trying to match this back to what I've read on the forum (some strong stuff on there). 🤔

We are almost ready to announce this year's winners of the 1KWHC! You did not make this easy at all. Incredible work from everyone who submitted. Keep an eye on your inbox and on our socials.

Can't wait for the announcement. And clue when it will be? We're all impatient 😂😉

😂😘

I'm sure I'm not the only one assuming you're talking about my story! 😂🤪😭

Expecting a three hour episode of tipsy laughter, outtakes, and the jingling sound of the inuen-DOUGH jar overflowing.

How did you guess? 😉

And what about the reading outtakes on the podcast 😂

I'm only entering this because it's you guys! This is so far out of my comfort zone 😂 Rough draft completed. Now time to edit! I think I'll be using a pen name for this one!

We'll get our own squirrel shirts 😉😆

Wait until you see what I read in the forum. Oh my!

Very happy to get my second Elegant Lit Honourable Mention. Even happier that one of my writing group friends made it to the publication!

It's not necessarily the same order from what I remember them saying in previous comps.

And I told her that after the brutality she'd come out of it feeling encouraged and motivated 😂

😂

Yet again, every post is about my story. Same every round. 😉

I should have warned you about the tweets 😂

So... acting all casual about the fact that I'm gonna have a zoom with @akscotland.bsky.social for the October 2025 #notquitewritepodcast.com coaching critique package. And thanks to timezones she'll be having breakfast while I'm passing out drunk on wine. #livingthedream

Oooh - I'm intrigued!!

I'll just wait for the less public written critique thanks!😅

Another story submitted. Will it be fourth time lucky? At least the pressure was off with this one knowing it won't be roasted on the podcast this time round!

Now the countdown is on for the social media teasers @notquitewrite.com

Third honourable mention for my third Writing Battle. One day I'll progress to the next stage 😂

Congrats and good luck to those in the final showdown!

Another amazing shortlist. Congratulations to everyone who made it. You're all fantastic ❤️

@elysiarourke.bsky.social congratulations, I see you also received an honourable mention!

Another great longlist episode. Well done to all the people who made the list.

I think a few of the recurring issues discussed in the episode feature in my story... my Daredevil is going to be painful 😬

Feel free to drop the episode around 6am your time for the late night UK listeners 😉

😂

We're all waiting for the next Johnson instalment.
