Top 5 Finalist in Writer's Digest Story Competition

Every month Writer's Digest gives a prompt to light creative fires. From that, writers are to tell a story in 750 words or less. The prompt I responded to was for Contest #12: "A Man walks into a bar. But it isn't a bar."

Admittedly, my story is unconventional. In fact, it might seem like I was on drugs - but, hey, caffeine's not illegal, although perhaps after reading my story you'll think it should be. Anyway, out of over 500 entries, my "Bar After Bar" was selected by the editors as a Top 5 finalist.

From here, it goes on to voting among registered members at WritersDigest.com. The winner gets their story published in the October edition of Writer's Digest Magazine. I think I have a miniscule chance, if early votes on the site are any indication, but I'd really love to be published in that magazine.

Now, if YOU - yes, I'm talking to the four of you who actually read this - would like to increase my chances of winning (which I think is what this comes down to - 'viral marketing' seems to be the modern writer's job), YOU CAN VOTE.

FOR ME. (Did I mention that?)

Go to WritersDigest.com, click on the red Community tab, find the Your Story heading and take the opportunity to Register. If I recall correctly, you need to create a username, password, and give your email address. Once you've registered, go to the stories and cast your vote.

And then leave a comment here telling me you voted so I can send you a huge, humongous, amazing prize.

Love, Anjie
