All you writer types: Mike Allegra at “Hey look a fellow writer” is holding a writing contest for 200 words or less with a prize of $50 in various gift cards. Go here for all the details. And OMG, it’s actually “Hey look a writer fellow.” All this time I thought it was “a fellow writer.” Apparently I need to work on my reading as well as writing skills. Sorry, Mike.
Anyway, y’all, check it out!

Thanks!
And yep, it’s “writer fellow” instead of “fellow writer” because my fellow readers aren’t necessarily fellow writers.

Of course that makes sense, but making sense isn’t my specialty.

How funny that you thought it was fellow writer all this time! It’s interesting how once we have seen something a certain way, we can keep seeing it that way. I had a similar thing with another blog I follow, I don’t know if you follow that one, it’s called ‘The Bumble Files’ and all the time I thought it was ‘The Bumble Flies’, like a bumble bee flying! Even though it’s written in big at the top of her blog, I just always saw it wrong. I can’t remember how I eventually realised, I think it was when she spoke about the name of her blog in one of her posts.
Have you entered Mike’s contest? I have my entry almost ready to post.

Maybe because The Bumble Flies makes perfect sense and is totally cute! She should change it. 😉
I did enter! I highly doubt I’ll win, but hey, what’s the harm? And I think I found out about Mike through you, so thanks for that!

I read it! It’s fun and intriguing. I especially like how she and her friend are suppressing smiles at the woman. Such classic women friendship thing to do. Made me smile.

It’s ok, he’s not one of the judges! Now we just have to hope that one of the judges doesn’t see this…

Right. And I have to hope one of the judges is a teenager if I’m to stand a shot. I’m guessing probably not, though! 🙂

He’s an awesome guy, much luck on his contest! I did an interview with him a few years back, after his Thanksgiving Children’s book was published. Great talent, here’s the link: https://roxieh.wordpress.com/2012/08/31/spotlight-childrens-author-mike-allegra/

Always a challenge when we writers try to use less words. Sigh.
