SQUIRREL'S STORY STARTER-JUNE PROMPT CONTEST

As always, write a 500 word scene using one of the three Scene Starter Sentences. Be sure to use at least 5 of the 10 Prompt Words below. Email your story to me IN THE BODY OF AN EMAIL please. No attachments.

Deadline for entry is the last day in June. Winner will be notified the first week in July and will receive a new Steeple Hill release of their choice. All entrants will be entered in the annual contest that runs 12 months.
Winner of the annual contest will receive a (paid for by me) six month subscription to any Steeple Hill line of their choice through the Harlequin Book Club.

The annual contest ends this September. Then I will take a three month hiatus off and start another annual contest with monthly prompts resuming in January of 2008. Prompt contests will then run Jan to Jan.

Entrants retain all rights to their work. I do not publish or post them anywhere. Those are Da Rulz.


Below is this month's Story Starter prompt:

Hi,

Would you be interested in joining the blog tour for Tricia's new non-fiction book for teens, My Life, Unscripted?

"Drawing on Biblical principles, My Life, Unscripted guides girls through the tumultuous teen years by teaching them to have a plan of attack before temptation or hardship come".

Tricia would love your help spreading the word about this unique and much needed teen resource. It's great for church youth groups, book clubs or other teen groups and organizations.

Thanks for your time,
