Strictly Writing: The votes are almost in

Thank you to everyone who voted for a winning story for our competition. The voting is now closed and we are at the count. We are also waiting for one or two votes from the Strictly Writing team (you know who you are!).

We will announce the winner and runners-up on Friday 27 May. Don't forget to check in here on that day. Join us for a virtual glass of Champagne as we toast the winner.

Welcome

Welcome to our blog. We are a varied group of writers - published and aspiring; poets, short-story creators and novelists - with one thing in common: an enduring love for the craft of writing. A love which requires great resilience in the face of recurrent self-doubt, writer's block and rejection. In the face of the obsessive checking of emails, inch high dust and burnt dinners. In the face of a gamut of RSI injuries and writer's bottom. But a love that repays itself ten times over with those sparkling seconds of elation when finally, the right prose unfolds, like a quick-footed jive or seamless Cha Cha Cha. That's when we trust once again the voice in our heads that urges... "Keeeeep writing!"
