One day a puppy got lost in the woods. He was scared, and he was hungry. He found some beans and ate them. Suddenly, he was floating. He could see his house! He was so happy, his tail wagged him all the way home.
(Author's Note: This story was created when my daughter handed me a 2x4 imch piece of paper and said, "Write a story." While this has been slightly modified from the original, I kept the image of the puppy's tail propelling him forward through the air, because he was wagging it so hard.)

My Georgetown Contest Entry
I recently entered Figment's Georgetown contest. In 1,000 words or less, you had to have your two favorite characters do something at a Washington monument.
As I read the Georgetown novella we had to write the continuation scene from, I remembered thinking the girls needed to be stronger. While some were power-hungry manipulators, most of them were trying to be kind and good. But it felt more like appeasement than an actual conviction of goodness. The kind that will stand the test of time. That is what I tried to give them in my entry, The Lincoln Connection, which can be read here: http://figment.com/books/633203-The-Lincoln-Connection.
