B4B #9

Today begins a new Blogging for Books competition to win a copy of Gwendolen Gross' Field Guide: A Novel . The challenge is to write about any incident in your life in the style of your favorite author, fiction, nonfiction, or even blogger (what a challenge!) The writing must be posted in a blog, and if you don't have one of your own, you can send it here by typing it into the body of an email formatted for text only. Any other method causes weird-looking symbols to appear wherever a dash, apostrophe, or quotation marks are used, due to highly technical reasons. [Insert winking smilie.] Deadline is 6 a.m. PST, March 14. If you're going to emulate another writer, make it someone who writes/wrote well and use this opportunity to hone your own skills. Good writing!
