Literati!  Our six finalists have been sharpening their pencils or dipping their quills  for the chance to bring Horace home as the winner of our Wingnuts contest. Here is all you need to do…

Write a love story.

In keeping with the general theme of our contest, somewhere within the text you must use the phrase: “…if only I had wings…”

The love can be between a man and a woman or any combination of the multiple genders we engender, between parent and child, between a soldier and his gun, a boy and his dog or a girl and her squid (see video starring Tesse Sully!),or even the love an artist or writer feels for his creation.

(Suffering Cephlopod !!)

Up to 750 words. Choose early as you begin whether you want to make us think or make us feel.  I need a good cry and I need a good laugh…How about you?

Your story must be submitted by June 20th.  The winner will be announced at The Third Annual Editor-in-Chief Surprise Birthday Party and Wet T Shirt Contest, to be held June 22nd  at the Hacienda in Oceanside of our good friend and author Victor Villasenor (www.victorvillasenor.com). We intend to podcast the event and will update you on how to participate.

Thorn founded A Word with You Press in 2009, having Jack-Londoned his way across the globe sleeping with whatever country would have him, picking up stray stories along with way. A litter of dog-eared passports that have taken up residence in his sock drawer are a constant temptation, but, having at last discovered paradise, it’s not likely he will stray too far from his adopted city of Prague. He has helped hundreds of writers reach their potential, including best-selling authors and award winners. He is the author of Fire in the Belly: How to write your novel with Purpose and Passion, Almost Avalon, The Boy with a Torn Hat and The Courtesans of God saga, and multiple anthologies.
