Cath,
I think you have several contests you could write to….and as a story teller you could make it more exciting….for the book I believe some of the plainer stories will be better examples of how people find each other? So far this is really fun….I do hope I get some stories for the other 5 contests…

Thank you

Hi Patricia – This sounds like a great project. I’m not sure I can get involved though. My husband worked for me before we were in a relationship together, so it probably wouldn’t make a very exciting story.

introspection,
I think the plain stories are important examples too….I would love to hear yours. A plain story may be beautifully written?

If you have been together 30 years then maybe you wish to write your story for contest #5?

There are two parts to the contest – writing a great story – yours or someone else

and getting some examples to use for the book…

I hope you will write. Thank you for the compliment on the idea

Will be waiting to read all the super stories...!!! introspections last blog post..The Songbird's Nest - Nature's Miracle ..!

Patricia I'm in! I'll add it to my list. And what a great challenge to do it all in under $50 words. BTW congrats on the publisher go-ahead - that's awesome news! Alex Fayle | Someday Syndromes last blog post..The daily Someday battle: Lisa Baldwin interview
