Loved writing my #notquitewrite entry for October.
Turns out that writing and editing on a 5 hour journey up north when there’s a deadline looming was surprisingly doable!

Congrats to all those on the NQW Longlist! So surprised to hear that lots of people found the anti-prompt easy!! Not me.
Looking forward to hearing the shortlist and winner.

And so the #NotQuiteWrite #WritingCompetition begins with an Anti-Prompt: Break the rule 'Kill Your Darlings' 🤔😱 This is tricky for me as I'd normally be having a synchronous chat with the diligent #CopyEditor living in the back of my head while I'm writing 🤔💜❤️😎 Good luck to everyone taking part 🍀🤞😎

Who Needs A Blog When They’re Not Quite Write?
Competitors receive three prompts, much like most competitions around. However, unlike other competitions, there is an anti-prompt.
