Elegant
Every month the Klamath River Writers Club chooses a word for us to write about. This month's word is "elegant". I like to write my stories (for the writers club) about a prospector named Hiram who lived in this river valley back around 1860-1870. He's very fictional of course, but fun to write about.So this month's story is named "Hiram and the Elegant Lady". I wrote it this morning, then edited and printed it out. When I go to the club meeting tomorrow I'll read it out loud and hopefully they will have something "elegant" to read to me too.
Late last month I wrote another short story, One Winter, Two Trees, for a contest at The Writing Bridge. There were three entries and I'm happy to say my story got three votes! That wasn't enough to win the contest but I was thrilled that three people thought my story was best. The winning story got five votes, one of which was mine. Wow, if I'd voted for my own story I could have tied with him. LOL
Anyhow it was the first writing contest I've ever entered, though it was small scale. I'm very happy with the result.
Also this month I wrote a silly poem for a contest at Writer's Digest. I wonder what will come of that. Probably nothing.
