Well, I've been convinced.
Mom wants me to join this writing contest, sponsored by Borders books. The criteria is pretty easy: It must be 500 words or under, must be typed and double-spaced, must contain one of three phrases: "I lied.", "She (or he) gave me that look.", or "Our family is different."
There are three categories: Fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, and there's a section for highschool students. Prize is $100 and a $50 Borders gift card, and I'd get to read it at the Wordstock Book Fair at the Convention center.
Argh, Mom really, really, REALLY wants me to enter. I don't know how good I would do at it, to be honest... but I can try. I do know I'm a good writer, when my English teacher gives me mostly sixes on my CIM paper it is generally a good sign. But .. but...
Ack.
