The 7th Annual Writer's Digest Short Short Story Competition is accepting entries! We're looking for fiction that's bold, brilliant ... but brief. Send us your best in 1,500 words or less. But don't be too long about it—the deadline is December 1, 2006.

The Grand-Prize winner will receive $3,000 (that's $2—or more—per word). For guidelines, prizes and to enter online, click here.

Hannelore,
Thanks! It's exciting really...I'm half finished with my story...I've learned writing isn't something you force...it has to come naturally. Some days I'm into writing, others I'm not. I hope the final half comes before the contest deadline...LOL.

Has anyone ordered the Writer's Digest? Is it worth subscribing to?

If I were going to subscribe to one, it would be Writer's Digest. I use to get it, but found I never had the time to read it from cover to cover and that was frustrating. So ...

Hey JJ they can clone sheep and cows and heaven knows what else, how about us so we have someone to read these magazines we get??? HUMMMM, just thought of something off the subject, clone, yea clone us each our own Sam Elliott...oh be still my heart!
