In a bun dance

If I'm going to get something, I usually get it in spades - luck (both kinds), children, clutter, dirty laundry, bright ideas, daft ideas...

STV competition comes to a close

December 3, 2009 By Ellen

It’s the last week of the STV Write Factor competition. I’ve now written nine opinion pieces and now it’s up to the judges. The winner gets a six month contract to write a column.
I have enjoyed myself. It’s been a total treat to get away from “proper” journalism and write about what I think on the issues of the day. My biggest challenge has been deciding which of the day’s topics to rant about.
Today I remembered getting stuck in a carpark because I couldn’t get my pregnant belly between my car and the one next to it. In theory it sounds funny, but it really wasn’t.
I also had a bit of a go at an organisation that’s dishing out advice to GPs.
There can’t be anyone I know who isn’t getting every so slightly cheesed off by my begging. However, if you haven’t had a look or posted a comment, please do.
Thanks very, very much.

    Done. Now I can go back to reading your blogs for entertainment rather than having to come up with comments. It all just persuaded me I wouldn't be much use as a columnist myself. I can never seem to conjure up an opinion when I really need one. xxx

    Thanks for your support. I guess people are either born Daily Mail readers or not!

    Your columns were witty and fun altho I agree with Debs – It's really hard coming up with a witty retort – felt it was a bit of an exercise for me too!

    My fingers etc are crossed. xx
