I’m sort of in the LA Times

My little Twitter entry for the Copyblogger contest got re-published in the LA Times this weekend. No attribution as I was only an honorable mention, but my three sentence story close out the article.

Wow, I Won Something!

I can’t recall how long I’ve subscribed to Brian Clark’s Copyblogger, but I’ve been a lurker there for a while. On a whim I entered his Twitter Writing contest and won a second honorable mention.  the contest?  Write a story in 140 characters or less. My entry was:

The priest at the funeral home asked if she had been a loving mother. The children all stared at each other. The silence spoke volumes. [original tweet]

For my honorable mention I get a signed copy of Hypnotic Writing from Joe Vitale. I’m actually looking forward to seeing it as I’ve never heard of the guy before.
