Well, we’re almost there. I can see the second ‘Mum Life Stories’ anthology on the horizon and it’s setting up to be as good, if not better than the first. Only 2 rounds of competitions to go and then production begins. Only 2 rounds to go for your chance to be a part of this beautiful book and have your story immortalised in its pages for ever and ever.
Okay so they may run out of copies eventually and they may all disintegrate and decompose back into the earth just like us, but I’m sure their words will resonate in the hearts of our children and our children’s children, etc, for ever and ever. Not only that but you’ll have bragging rights at every high school/college reunion and family gathering for the rest of your life. Nothing sounds quite as impressing as “my story was published in a book” (insert cocky smile and a dozen ‘oooh’s and ‘ahhhh’s).
If that’s not enough motivation to whip up a 500 word masterpiece then think of the cash! It’s not enough to buy your own island and retire to write 100 trashy novels, but you could get a decent celebratory dinner or luxury pedicure, depending on your exchange rate of course.
Round 5 is themed ‘Adolescence’, probably the most exciting of all 6 rounds I think, as there’s bound to be a hundred and one stories from each writers on teenage journey, that they can draw inspiration from. They are the most termultuous years of our lives after all. I’m really looking forward to reading all the submissions in a months time.
Submission opens at 12AM this Sunday morning AEST, the 26th of June and closes 4 weeks later on Sunday the 24th of July at midnight AEST.
