Don't know. I wrote it on the spur of the moment, before I thought about the Bridport competitions. I'm not even sure I qualify because I'm not living in the uk. I think I might try... I'll have to have another objective look at it. Perhaps do something more with the ending.???

PS I've changed it quite a bit. Better now than the first version I sent you.

Bridport, Dorset is an interesting town, which I've visited several times. Its geographical position makes it idea for the growing of flax and hemp, which are used to make rope and nets and the town thrived on their manufacture.

After small beginnings, the Bridport Prize has grown to be one of most respected writing competitions; I might have a go!

Another one worth checking out is the Yeovil Prize which is regularly monitored by editors and agents. Writing Competition | Writing Contest

I notice the Bridport one has a clause in the novel category that says if you've ever been published you're ineligible to enter. No such restrictions in the Yeovil Prize
