I have been shortlisted for an essay competition!
and now the winner is to be determined by people's choice. So please give all the essays a read and if you like mine, consider sending an email at write4thecicak@gmail.com giving them my name, Liyana Yusof. The prize is some money, Borders vouchers (!!!) and having the essay published in a local newspaper.
I read the entries and there is one I particularly like (not telling!). I wouldn't mind it if they won, even though I've yet to win an essay competition asides from Kinokuniya Bookstores' World Book Day. I've only been shortlisted previously for MPH's Young Writer Search (and published in their anthology) and shortlisted again for IMPAC Dublin Literary Award For Young Malaysians. There aren't that many chances for older people to join essay contests so I'm trying to make the most of it while I'm still in my very last -teen. Sigh. Here's hoping.
they pulled a big fat Ctrl+Z on me baby.
