Share Your Short Story – Winner and Runner Up for November 2018

Thanks to everybody who took part in Share Your Short Story this month and submitted their lovely stories.  There was a great turnout this month.  As hard as it was to choose, I’ve picked Jim Webster/Tallis Steelyard’s ‘A Token of Affection‘ as the winner this month.  Jim’s sense of humour appeals to my love of dry wit…

Congratulations Jim!  Please feel free to use this laurel on your page:

For the runner -up this month I’ve chosen Writing With an Open Heart’s story ‘Price of Beauty‘. This struck a chord with me as I’m rather scarred from previous surgeries, and agree that beauty goes deeper than what you can see on the outside.

For December’s ‘Share Your Short Story’, I’m looking for some Christmas poems please.  No limitation on word count – just feel free to write away!  The blog to add your poems is scheduled for tomorrow.  The deadline is 18th December and I’ll pick the winner on 20th December, as I’ll be a tad busy after that…
