Okay for those who've read through my blog posts from a few years ago you'll note that I came dead last in a competition with my first ever manuscript. Admittedly it was horrid, just pure tripe that needed a fire to gut through it, but it was my first manuscript and I loved it. I placed dead last in the STALI competition (Single Title And Loving It) from the Romance Writers of Australia. I pity the judges who had to read it, but it taught me a few things. I especially loved the tip that one judge gave me that my voice was more suited to Young Adult than romance. She/he was right, oh soo right.
Anyway sorry to be blabbing on. I received notice this week that I am a finalist in this years STALI! No, I'm not kidding you. The competition that I stuffed up. I think I'm getting better at writing.

So happy for you! Congrats and good luck for the rest of it!
Congratulations Natalie. I love a good news story as much as a good read. Hoping the story finds a publisher, cover and shelf space in the shops. You deserve the reward and I’d like to read the story.
Thanks girls, I'm stoked, hoping for more good news soon.
Fantastic news Nat! Way to go and good luck :)
