March has proved to be a great month for my creative writing. I won a book Writers 750 Emerald Workbook by Heather Marie Schuldt who runs free monthly contests.

@Ronrybs wouldn't surprise me - only ones I never liked were the big round caramel ones that could break your teeth

That is awesome news. I hope you get the new book deal. It sounds very good so far.
That workbook sounds good, too. I think it would be very useful to write one story a month.

Good luck with your book on pub signs. This is an interesting subject because we are losing many of our traditional pubs and the signs will become rare and collectable in the future. Does your book explain the history behind the pub names?
