Thank you so much for helping my story win!!
The $50 is flying its way to me as I write. I will be thinking up a contest for the blog here, as promised. Stay tuned . . . .
Commenting, Facebook liking, and voting (closing arguments) closes tomorrow, Sunday (August 11) at noon.
What’s that for? I have a creative nonfiction or memoir story up at Midlife Collage this week as I explained in my blog posts Monday and Tuesday.
If you have time, please go to the Midlife Collage contest and look for my story “Still Photo” by Luanne Castle. It competes with four other very short stories.
Even if I don’t win, the comments are rewarding to read because it’s wonderful to see if I have reached my readers. And if I win, I will set up a contest on this blog for blog readers :).
And whatever participation you can manage, I thank you from the ends of my toes and tips of my fingers. Thank you!!!
Yes, today is Day 2 of my story sitting up there on the Midlife Collage contest!
As I mentioned yesterday, one of my stories is in the Midlife Collage contest this week. It’s called “Still Photo” and is up against four other very short stories.
Please leave a Facebook “like” for my story! click the Facebook link at the bottom of the story.
If you have time please leave one of your thoughtful comments at the end of the story.
If you can please go to “closing arguments” and tell them which story should win this week.
What follows is a repeat of information in yesterday’s post:
If my story were to win, I would like to use my award to design a contest for Writer Site–something you all can participate in. What do you think about that idea? I got the idea from the Paying It Forward segment on our local TV station.
Why is the story called “Still Photo” if the photo is of a camcorder?
I hate to beg for help. I asked for help last Thursday with my poetry reading skills. Now here I am asking for help again. I am definitely hanging my head and kicking the dirt with my shoe as I write this.
This time there is a time constraint. And rules.
One of my stories is in the Midlife Collage contest this week. See it up on the Home page: “Still Photo” by Luanne Castle. It competes with four other very short stories.
The idea is that readers (that’s you, a reader 😉 ) read the stories which are up this week. Then you leave comments on at least three of them. (Note: the comments only count if you comment on at least three stories). Not “atta girl” type comments, but the sort of comment you might leave on one of my blog posts. If you think my story deserves to win, by all means, say so in your comment and give a reason why.
If you don’t have time to leave the comments, please leave a Facebook “like” for my story! Here is the Facebook page.
The way they select the winner is through both the comments and the Facebook likes, with the comments being weighted more heavily.
I would be so grateful if you would read my story and the others and give the feedback that you are able to give.
If my story were to win, I would like to use my award to design a contest for Writer Site–something you all can participate in. What do you think about that idea? I got the idea from the Paying It Forward segment on our local TV station.
Extra info:
Midlife Collage has a feature of interest to commenters called “Comments That Stick.” MC says, “We look for readers who write inspiring, enlightening or entertaining comments.” These will be comments that live on long after the contest for that particular story has closed.
Why is the story called “Still Photo” if the photo is of a camcorder?
Maybe you too will want to submit a piece to Midlife Collage!
