Finding my Smory! (Now Click Like Mad!)

by

Remember how I told you all about my smory, “Ondine Oxenburg is Definitely Different“?

Come on, you remember. I said it was a finalist over at Smories.com, and that a terribly cute Brit kid would read “Ondine Oxenburg is Definitely Different.” And that the smory was entered into a competition where the winner is determined by the number of clicks on the story?

Um, maybe I didn’t tell you that. So, here’s the deal. Click like mad on “Ondine Oxenburg is Definitely Different.” Because there are FIVE winners. And I know I’ve told you how I like to win contests!

(And besides, “Ondine Oxenburg is Definitely Different” is a pretty cute story, if I do say so myself, gov’ner!)

Finding Something Friday: Blimey! It’s Smories time!

July started with a bang! (Um, sorry. I know that was bad.)

I opened up my inbox to find an email from Smories saying that my smory, “Ondine Oxenburg is Definitely Different” is live! Here’s what that means…

Smories.com is a UK website where kids tell stories. Not just any stories, of course. They’re recorded telling the stories that are sent in by writers like, well, me. Right now, Smories is having a competition where the smory with the most clicks wins. But the second, third, fourth and fifth most-clicked stories win, too.

I don’t usually do competitions of this nature. But watching those little Brit kids reading stories sucked me in. I’m a bit of an Anglophile, you see.

So now, “Ondine Oxenburg is Definitely Different” is one of the finalists, and a very cute Brit kid is reading my smory. And wouldn’t you just know it? I’m kinda sucked into that competiton now. ‘Cause I’m a bit of a contestphile, too.

Click all month long! ‘Cause it’d be swell if July ended with a bang, too! (Blimey!)
