Friday’s Fun Find | Cathy C. Hall Writes

You know what’s crazy about Bingo? Everybody loves it.

When I was teaching–preschoolers, 2nd graders, middle schoolers–honestly, it didn’t matter. Bring out a Bingo game board, and those kids were all over it.

Yep, you’d be surprised what kids will learn to fill out a Bingo card. So it’s no surprise to me that adults (who played a ton of Bingo in their day) will get sucked into playing the Reading Bingo Challenge. And when I say “adults”, I’m using the term loosely since I’m counting myself.

When I found this fun game over at Retreat for Random House, I thought of you, too. I realize that most writers would read anytime, anywhere, anyway. But this just adds a whole ‘nother level of excitement to reading. Because hey! Who doesn’t love Bingo?

You know what I find fun in the Saturday Evening Post Limerick Contest? Being a runner up in the October Limerick contest!

(You have to scroll down a bit–no, no, keep going. Yep, there it is, at the very bottom of the page! Wheee!)

Of course, I realize that’s not as much fun for you as it is for me. But there’s another Saturday Evening Post Limerick contest going on right now, and all you have to do is come up with a clever verse for this lovely cover:

You have until February 3rd to get your limerick on. Because you know what’s more fun than writing a limerick for the Saturday Evening Post Limerick Contest?

Winning it.

(Off you go! And a special thank you to writer buddy Debra who let me know about this lovely surprise!)
