Would you like a free Kindle for Christmas

October 4, 2010 | writing | blogging |

I had the best idea today! I just recently bought a Kindle and I am absolutely in love with it. Since I am participating in the National Novel Writing Month this November this blog will be pretty empty. So to jump start this blog and keep it buzzing with excitement, this year for Christmas (or whatever you happen to celebrate) I am going to give away a kindle to one lucky winner. :)

So, if you want a free kindle this is all you have to do.

Submit a short story by Nov 1, 2010. It can be any topic but no more than 5,000 words to my email address ([email protected]).
Your story will be published on this blog as soon as it is submitted. This blog is covered under a creative commons license , so no one will be profiting from your work. It will remain your property and you will get full credit for the story.
Voting will take place through a poll for the whole month of November.
On Dec, 1 2010, the poll will be closed and whoever gets the most votes will get a free Kindle 3 Wifi mailed directly to them.
Please no more than one entry per participant.

Pretty easy right? So - tell all of your friends and neighbors, and get busy writing! If there are any questions I can be reached at my email listed above. I am looking forward to some excellent writing and discussions! Good Luck.

<3 Lev

Occupation and Preoccupation

Here’s Jony Ive in his Stripe interview: What we make stands testament to who we are. What we make describes our values. It describes our preoccupations. It describes beautiful succinctly our preoccupation. I’d never really noticed the connection between th…

What do we do when the facts don't matter?

As a journalist by training, I have what you might call an addiction to facts. I believe that there are things that are true and things that are not, and that we can determine one from the other through observation, rational thought, and meticulous resear…

Back to the Future

This past weekend, I decided to take a trip down memory lane and take a look at the evolution of this blog’s design over the years (with a little help from the Wayback Machine). While I’ve really enjoyed the challenge of making an obsessively backwards co…
