Varuna Awards for Manuscript Development

This is my blog, right? My form of narcissistic self expression. It is the place where I blow my own horn, beat my own drum. And it is not really boasting because no one actually reads it.

What no one? Yes, no one, because they are too busy flying their own flag. In which case I can stand on my soap box and shout as loud as I want. Ok here goes.

I got through to the second stage of the Varuna Awards!

What was that? You didn’t hear me. Ok I’ll say it again.

I got through to the second stage of the Varuna Awards!

That’s better isn’t it. But I am so excited I find I must say it again.

I got through to the second stage of the Varuna Awards!

and again

I got through to the second stage of the Varuna Awards!

And again

I got through to the second stage of the Varuna Awards!

In fact I find I can’t stop

Varuna!

Varuna!

Varuna!


And I find I can’t stop smiling. I am a bubble floating and I feel so happy I could burst.

Eh? What’s that? You don’t know what Varuna is. Wash your mouth out! It is the centre of the universe. Yes, seriously. It is a very prestigious award. Here is the link. http://www.varuna.com.au/diary.html

Scroll down and you will see my name. It is fourth from the top under literary fiction. My first name starts with E and my surname starts with C. That’s it Elizabeth Corbett.

Di I tell you I got through to the second stage of the Varuna Awards?
