Writing Contest! (opens 6/12 at 7:18pm)

First writing contest of the summer!

I just finished reading CLAIRE DEWITT AND THE CITY OF THE DEAD by Sara Gran, and I'm pretty sure this one will be on my sox-knockers list for 2011.

My copy of the book is the prize for the writing contest.  Here's how to enter:

Write a story in 100 or fewer words.  Post it in the comments section of this blog post.  Comments are closed until 7:18pm EST (Eastern Shark Time) today 6/12.  The contest will run for 24 hours.  It closes on the stroke of 7:18pm EST 6/13.

Use the following words in the story:

willing
parrot
intuitionist
dope
silette

There's a bonus prize for the best answer to how those words are connected.

One entry per person is eligible for the contest.  If you need a mulligan, I'll take the LAST entry (based on time)

Ready? Set! WRITE!
