Writing Contest

The writing contest in Portland that Dan and I attended this weekend, has a readers choice division and we need your votes. As you read the pieces keep in mind the prompts were:
character: delivery person
dialog: what you need is a nice...
action: climbing a tree
prop: sunscreen

all four prompts had to be in our pieces.
You can vote for us at-www.sledgehammercontest.com
Dans piece is called,"Master"
mine is called,"To squash a fairy"Thanks-Kassy

This was a great event, if we hadn't double booked ourselves to be at the shrewsbury fair and at the contest we would have liked it more. They gave us clues to a scavenger hunt through Portland to find our prompts and then we had 36 hours to turn in our completed story. We were driving back and forth between Portland and kings valley, but we had fun.
The Tuesday we read our storys at the Blackbird wine and cheese bar in Portland. Dan was amazing, and friends present said I didn't talk too fast.
