Good morning, Literati! Oh, my goodness! Mac Eagan has decided to join us. Here is his entry into the contest You Didn’t Write That. Simply titled: Tag. You’re it! by Mac Eagan “My name’s Luminess.” “Your name,” Detective Lasko grumbled as he opened a folder, “is Luis Michael Ness. You’re suspected in a dozen […]
Weighing in at 193 words, this unusually curt period piece challenged the normal verbosity of 19th century fiction. But never fear, with a reliable pair of seamstress scissors, an old Remington typewriter, and some glue, anything is possible. This is Diana’s first submission to the “You Didn’t Write That” contest. The Invaluable Assistant by Diana […]
Good morning, Literati from the towers in Oceanside that will soon be beach front property if Rick Perry is wrong and Al Gore is right. Brian Howard, our most robust rabbi, has penned an entry into our contest “You Didn’t Write That!”. As the editor-in-briefs (it is still quite early here) I try to imagine […]
My living, loving, Literati! Barbara Walker has found our rebooty site and has entered our contest You Didn’t Write That. It’s amazing how many different perspectives the contest is inspiring. Barbara’s story is poignant and…well, why should I tell you what to think or feel. It’s a good story, and a great addition to the […]
Ooohhhh! That Kyle Katz! You can always count on her to hang out in the alphabet between the letters W and Y. And here she titillates once more, with her take on our contest You Didn’t Write That! All of you who play here can help this contest sizzle by leaving comments for all the […]
Literati! Never underestimate the reach of A Word with You Press! Here we have an entry from Wendy Joseph, an able-bodied sea-person on a ship somewhere between Oceanside and Shanghai.Wendy is an accomplished author, and I do hope that once you read and comment on her entry, you’ll check out the link to her book–hell, […]
Ahh, Literati! Seems like we are not yet ready to put out to pasture. Our core writers are returning now that Diana and Morgan and Rochelle have vanquished those bully hackers and disinfected the swing set. Once you do it with A Word with You Press you don’t EVER go back. Good to see you […]
… “If not, the fates with traitors doth contrive!” Artemidorus, Orange Julius…oops! JULIUS CAESAR! Ahh, Literati! That fine Sicilian, Salvatore Buttaci, has entered our contest, probably wanting to assume his rightful throne, as Sal was one of our last winners before we had to scuttle the site and rebuild. Sal has entered You didn’t write […]
Good morning Literati! At least, it is morning at the towers of A Word with You Press. I have returned from the beach where I watched birds, surfers, and dolphins and wished that the woman of my dreams was sitting beside me, and of course, I caffeinated myself. Back at the towers, now, where another […]
Oh Literati! I do believe the pump is being primed! With the entry of Thomas Smith, Esq. into our contest, we now have three entries. Ahhh, let the trickle turn to flood! Enter the contest yourself by pulling down the details from the menu bar and following them as if they mattered! Here is Tom […]
Literati! Any body wanna guess who said those words? Thorn, you didn’t write that. Than who(m)? Take a Wilde guess. Stefanie Allison enters our contest (for rules by which to make your own subversion-oops! submission!–just pull down the contest roll out from the menu bar(d).) This waxes rather poetic, don’t you think? Not to […]
Literati! At last! The contest. You are visiting A Word with You Press because there is not a successful twelve step program for our shared addiction. Some of us do it secretly, late at night, when the kids can’t see us. Some of us do it shamelessly in public places that dose us with caffeine. […]
