    Chuffed this morning as I have just won my first online writing contest.
    Small steps lead to bigger things
    http://www.writer2writer.com/results.htm
    Even though I haven't been putting the necessary effort into my writing for a few weeks, it was a real buzz to win something.

      Congratulations.  You are right that several small steps will add up over time into something big.
