It would be fair to say I felt like I won a million dollars in the lottery on Wednesday evening. The Geelong Writers held their monthly gathering and, this month announced the winner of the Finest 500 writing prize. The theme had been 'a place I know'. As I'm sure is the case with anyone nominated for a prize, you dream about winning or at least being acknowledged but try not to get your hopes up too much. When my name was read out in 2nd place, it was like a dream come true!
