After learning that ‘Green Magic’ was unsuccessful in the Lucy Cavendish comp, am continuing with the final polish/edit I was doing anyway, with the aim of entering it in yet another competition.  Slow going, but am up to chapter 23.  I want to get this rewrite out of the way so that I can go back to one of the novels I’ve started and been unable to progress.

Update – looked into the other comp and decided against it after reading some info on various websites.  Never mind; not a wasted effort as it needed bringing up to date, after being written some years ago.  Next, will polish ‘The Underway’ for entry to the Mslexia Children’s Novel comp.
