@gaveen Congratulations 🙂 Good luck!

@gaveen congrats!

@Lana thanks!

@f thank you! 🤞🏾

@gaveen
Just seeing this! Congratulations! :)

@lohang thanks! I didn't make it to the shortlist though, and after processing for a while, I'm relieved.

I got the validation I was looking for, and then I got to return to writing and editing. I'm already working on a new manuscript this year and I can salvage some poems from the previous one.

@gaveen This is very good to hear. Keep it up, Gaveen. Cheers!
