I’ll never be an A-Lister.
My writing contest, which I thought had some pretty cool prizes up for grabs, has yielded a whopping THREE entries. And since I just happen to be giving away not one, not two, but three prizes, I guess I don’t really need to go through the whole agonizing task of reading through thousands of entries to narrow my choices to the top three and then fend off a slew of angry emails from all the jilted hopefuls.
In a strange way that could almost be considered a plus.
Anywaste, to show my three loyal minions just how benevolent and generous I am I’m going to forego the whole first, second, third prize thing, and simply offer each of them their choice of which of the three prizes they want. Each of them can choose any of the three they want with no penalties should two, or even three of them want the same thing. So they can all choose to have an item from the TMG store, or two can get something from their Amazon wishlist, or they can all get different things.
Aren’t I a great guy?
You may be asking yourself, who are these lucky SOBs? Well, wonder no more for I shall tell you. They are;
- Cableman for “Bird World”
- Michelle S. (no website given) for “A Living Nightmare in Periwinkle”
- and, Solonor for “Quack Another Day”
Congratulations winners! You have just proven that you have no lives.
Ha! Mama said I’d never amount to much! I knew she was right!
Don’t we get to read the winners? I would have entered but I wasn’t crazy about the clause that states you own all of the stories. As a writer myself, you never know when you may need to grab something from the past to use at a later date.
If you would have let us keep our stories and just give you permission to use them on your blog, then I would’ve sent in a superb entry.
p.s. I still heart your blog.
I have an excuse, my dog pooped a rock.
Ya know, I had an entry. Or to be mroe precise I had a perfect beginning and perfect ending for my entry, but I was a little unsure about the middle. I actually added that middle to my list of things to do (right beneath alphebetizing my boss’s wine cellar – i kid you not) and then, the 10th came and went and I wept. I’ll sneak you a copy of what I had though, just so you know I meant to get it in, to prove that I too have no life and can occasionally find an ounce of wit.
I was about half-way through writing mine but unfun stuff as no staff at work for the past two and a half weeks sorta got in the way of my usual non-work-can-write status. Fucked me over royally. *sniffles* So pissed I didn’t get to contribute.
“…unfun stuff SUCH as no staff…”
Yeah. See? Totally farked over.
