It’s not too late to win our trophy. The likelihood of seducing a member or members of your preferred gender(or species) will be greatly enhanced if this is sitting on your mantel, a testament to your superior writing abilities by winning our contest.  And what a great conversation starter! (“Tell me, is there a story to what you are wearing?  May I take a closer look?”)  Oh! the possibilities are mindless–oops!– I mean endless.  Simply write 500 words of brilliance about an article of clothing that has history to it…YOUR history.  That little brass plaque could have your name engraved upon it.  The ruby slipper is actually made of porcelain.  The wooden pedestal is actually made of wood, and the brass coated plaque is actually brass coated.  It begs for you to claim it!  Do it here:

Thornton Sully

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.

    It’s still a lovely fairytale. But, suppose, just suppose she decided to write her own story. It wouldn’t be the size of her foot that attracts a prince of a man. It might just be her powerful intelligence and independence from goofy standards of what’s beautiful and what’s not. The right man falls in love with who she really is; and, she falls in love with who he really is. Let’s get it right for a change.
    Fairytales have been setting bad standards for both men and women way too long.
    Michelle Obama, Barack Obama? Now that’s a tale to remember and teach your youg’uns.
