Valentine's Day Short Writing contest


Roy Peter Clark at Poynter is running a contest. Here are his rules:
You will be limited to three lines of text (one or two is acceptable), and a total of 10 characters, as in "Hubba hubba!"

You may enter in any one of three categories (or all three):

Journalism love: "Nice Lede!"
Presidential candidate love (or hate): "Huck - a - bee."
Or generic love or lust (rated PG-13, please): "My space?"
The winner in each category will receive one of the new paperback editions of the book "Writing Tools: 50 Essential Strategies for Every Writer."

For more info on how to enter (tight deadline on this one), go to his column at Poynter.

Of course, last I counted, "Hubba Hubba!" had 11 characters... guess punctuation doesn't count.
