I''ve been celebrating some of the successes of fellow Central Victorian writers a lot this week. Short story writer, poet and novelist Mary Pomfret has been awarded a much deserved postgraduate scholarship at La Trobe University to study creative writing; other Bendigo writers were published in the ''Landlines'' Regional Victorian poetry anthology.
