Busy morning in writersroom HQ - our readers have been in the office reading through the entries for our CBeebies new writing competition, Get a Squiggle On, which closed last week.
We've had over 400 entries - recurring themes that have emerged so far are aliens, detectives, kids entertainers, carnivals/circuses, technology, tooth fairies, amnesiacs and biscuits!
Many of the entries have been beautifully presented with colourful moodboards and quirky illustrations - one even came with a dragon costume, and another with a banana (?!).
A big thank you to all of you entered - it's been heartening to see that a large number of scripts have come from first time writers. We're really enjoying reading your entries and will report back when we have more news on the shortlist.
Good luck!

Has anyone heard anything? I have suddenly become somewhat obsessed.
Wrote it one day prior, I didn't proofread before getting kindly local printer to produce two copies shoving one in the envelope without a moment's thought (to be fair there was not a moment to spare). A quick read of second copy confimed worst fears - kots of Smellinng histeaks ... Anyone fancy a wager?
Best of luck to all.

I'm not sure anyone will have heard results yet as shortlist notified on 29th July (this Friday!). But of course I've also become obsessed despite knowing this. Nail biting times, eh?
Good luck scrivere and everyone else!
