Feeling despondent

by Carla Devereux
27th May 2014

I'm currently feasting on over cooked despondency with lashings of doubt, topped with self deprecation about my writing, and looking for a glimmer of hope that perhaps I can do it and it's worth persevering.

Please could you give me feedback on the piece which I submitted to the Bath Short Story Competition (not long listed) - The Face of a Life. I've posted it on my profile.

It's the 3rd competition submission I've not even touched the selected long list.

Much appreciated.

Hi Carla you sound just how I felt yesterday (nothing's changed since then, I just feel better today). I'll have a careful read of your piece later & give you some feedback. I never get anywhere a short list either.
