Sorry this blog title ended in a preposition, but I'm in the mood to save words, as you will see. Plus, "Something about Which to Think" sounds silly.
On NPR's program On the Media this week they aired the winning entries to a novel challenge. They had asked their listeners to submit a 12-word novel. You can see the winners here. The hosts of the show mentioned that many of their contestants included despair and death in their entries, and I find myself including the latter quite often.
So my challenge to you, as you are on a walk or run, in the shower, or washing the dishes, is to write your own 12-word novel. Please submit many entries to me, as they will make me smile and I will - maybe - give a prize to the winner. Hooray!
Here are some of mine:
Reading War and Peace will be the death of her one day.
Making peace with pink toenails, the mother and daughter laughed once again.
