What? I thought I said we always take February off. What? That’s wrong. We always take March off. So here’s one last chance to kick writing butt in the Year of the Ram. Yup. We’re going up. This month you can write
a haiku
or a piece that is exactly 100 words
or a piece that is exactly 600 words
Here are the themes to choose from:
Looking back on the Year of the Ram
Looking forward to the Year of the Monkey
Happy Chinese New Year
Chinatown
Lions
One dollar bill
February 29th
Leap Year
Valentine’s Day
I think that’s good for now. If I think of any clever themes, I’ll put them in. Write something, okay? Everyone has at least a 100 word story in them. If you want me to help you get yours out, email me at [email protected]. I promise you that between the two of us, your 100 word story will come to be : ) I shi–kid you not.
