Now go sharpen your keyboards and pencils....and may the best "over the age of 18" story/writer win. Notice how cleverly I inserted the age thingy? Am I a brain or what? Hey, I heard that....

I've started writing mine... what fun!

Good for you Donna! Ladies, please make sure you send me your entries at georgia@boomerwomenspeak.com and put either BWS Writing Contest in the subject line, or My favorite summer memory from the 60s or 70s.


Good luck!

JJ

I have mine almost completed, hows the competition? Lots of entries coming in?

I tried to find out the word limit. Is there one? Please let me know.

No limit.

Thanks Dotsie. I'm having fun writing my short story too. Great idea !

Great! Be sure to make the deadline.

Ladies,
The winner of the Favorite Summer Memory from the 60s or 70s has been selected. It is ...

The Dimpled Fin by Angelika Schwarz (Hannelore).

This story will be posted on the BWS homepage in a few days. I must say that ALL entries were excellent reads and made choosing just one a very difficult task.

Congratulations to you, Hannelore! Would you be so kind as to mail me your home address so that your prize can be mailed?

Also, watch for a new contest to be posted tomorrow (I hope!)

JJ

Congratulations Hannelore. I can't wait to read it. I was coming here to get the mailing addy to send mine. Why did I think Aug 1 was the deadline? Oh well, maybe next time. Brain dead, I am!
