As you may recall when I wrote about my mission to acquire Cheryl Klein’s SECOND SIGHT, I am not one to give up easily. And so once again, I shall be rolling up my sleeves, flexing the brain, and looking for an unusual newspaper headline for my Highlights Fiction Contest story.
Yep, it’s that time of year again when hope springs eternal and visions of dollars dance in my head as I write up a scathingly brilliant kiddie story of 750 words or less (475 words if I think up something brilliant for the younger readers of Highlights). Although, I’m a little flummoxed at the moment by this part:
CATEGORY:
A funny story inspired by an unusual newspaper headline.
I mean, I can do funny, and I read all kinds of newspapers. But I may have to do some digging to come up with an unusual newspaper headline to write this story and send by January 31.
Not that I’m deterred. On the contrary. ‘Cause you know what? I finally won SECOND SIGHT. And Highlights Fiction Contest? You’re next.

You go woman!!! Glad you won the book and good luck with the fiction contest. I’m checking for headlines now.
I was glad I won that book, too! CK enclosed a lovely note, even though I suspect she was tired of my er, following a bit too close. 😉
Good luck with YOUR story, too!
I KNOW you will come up with something… Good luck and Happy New Year!
Thanks, Robyn! Back atcha! 😉
Hmmm… you’re right. That is a flummoxing category! I hope I get to read your story when it’s done. And I love the new look! It’s clean and easy on the eyes, fun to navigate and full of great info. Well done! I plan to rework my blog a bit, too, as soon as I can get Nathanael to help me. 🙂
Why thank you, Debra! And don’t make me say “if I can do it, anybody can.”
Well, don’t make me say it twice. 😉
Nice clean and neat look. Love the word, “flummoxed,” made me pause…
Good luck with Highlights. Keep us posted.
Thanks, Tami! And thanks for signing on (again)-;-)
