Stop And Blog The Roses

Calling all ChickLit Lovers Everywhere

By FernRonay, October 4, 2010 at 6:37 pm

Is your inner Helen Fielding calling? Think you've got a story to tell? Do you think you can tell a story in exactly ten words? Give it a try! It's the latest ChickLitShorties contest.

Got that? 10 words. Like this ~
'Love reading. Love writing. Love ChickLitShorties. Entered contest. Won prizes.'

Today, I am grateful ~
1/ That I was one of the August Extra Shorty contest winners
2/ Which came with not only a confidence boost but a copy of contest judge E.B. Loan's latest book, Killer on the Key, which I can't wait to read
and....
3/ I get to be a guest judge for the latest Extra Shorty Contest! Hear that Paula Abdul? Your 'I'm the nice judge' shoes have been filled. I can out-nice you any day. Look out!

Short story. Stories Short. Stories Long. Everyone has got one.
