And congratulations from me to the Top Tenners, and all this month's Best Sellers. There are some great reads in there.

Thanks for the insightful comments I had this time round. When I first uploaded the story in 2008, it didn't break into the top twenty and more than one reviewer accused me of hating men! This time all but one reviewer made pertinent suggestions and the result is a stronger story. So I'm delighted.

Many thanks again - and good luck!
the long and the short of it

Thanks from me too. I was pretty happy to be sandwiched between dancingsue and narandall by the end of the month. I'm still not convinced about the competitive aspect of YWO, but it was nice to be involved in the Top Ten, and to know that the majority of reviewers felt Rent a Chair was a decent short story.

I'm not going to post anything new for a while as I want to work seriously on The Truck Road, a novel. It never made it beyond 22 in the charts here, and yet there was so much more involved in creating that than the very short story (2,530 words) which finished at number 3 in December. C'est la vie!

Good luck to everyone and I look forward to more great reads in 2012 on YWO.

Thank you, everyone. And particular thanks to those reviewers who gave me constructive criticism over the last few months - it meant the third rewrite just made it into the top 5. Great incentive to keep writing in 2012.
