klwardI have passed some notable reading landmarks this week.
Firstly, I have completed Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Worth the ride, oh yes. I shall say nothing, even forebear to mention what is possibly my favourite spell from the entire series. It begins with accio.... and they'd all be dead without Hermione, fifty times over!
Secondly, I have completed reading the total 68 short stories and 57 pieces of flash fiction entered into the Australian Horror Writers Association short story and flash fiction contest. When I agreed to be one of the judges, the estimate was about twenty or thirty total. This took considerably longer than HP#7 and was nowhere near so pleasant an experience. Still, it is the one that will, I am sure, make me the better writer. And there were definitely some things worth reading in there: in due course, you'll have the opportunity to read them yourselves. Accio slushpile!
