Fun Writing Contest

Hurry! The clock is ticking.

You have less than 36 hours to write 100 words that will dazzle literary agent Janet Reid (AKA The Query Shark). The sticky wicket of the matter is, as Janet says, you need to include these words:

Lucky
Crash
Number
Oregano
Slevin

Bonus points if you can seamlessly incorporate:

Keith Kahla, Editor to the stars

Think you can do it?

What will you win? Other than HUGE bragging rights (of course)… you will take home the audio version of the thriller Crashers by Dana Haynes. The reviews sound fantastic. It’s about the people, ‘crashers,’ who go to plane crash sites to figure out why planes crashed. Some have said it’s like a pile of 24 episodes in one book. Sweet.

So don’t enter, because I want to win by default. Okay? Please. I don’t care if the victory will be less sweet because I didn’t beat out over three hundred contestants. I want to win it because I will be spending a heck of a lot of time (8000kms worth of hours–that’s 5000 miles for those who think in miles–) in the car this summer and don’t want to listen to CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation) all the time. (No offense to CBC. Well, okay, maybe a little.) So out of sympathy for me, don’t enter, okay?

But if you do, good luck!
