Oh, I am not going to be one of the judges, so the fact that one story was written by my husband won't give him an extra advantage.



DARN!!!! I was counting on that! Wink Wink

Also, ditto with the "get writing". If I can write a quick one, so can you. Lets see those other writing-gifted folks put something out there. Give it a try. I'd like to read other takes on this theme.

And thanks to all who liked my effort. I looked at Minerva, who looks like June Bug, for my inspiration.

Jim

It was very close, but Cindy came out ahead in the
W. V. Cats story writing contest. She is now the bearer of the W. V. Cats Golden Paw Writing Award! Applause Trilly-166-icon_thumright Trilly-141-icon_cheers



Cindy, I added your award to your signature. You can take it off anytime you'd like, but I think you should leave it for a little while. You can still add another picture to your sig, if you desire.

Jim's story came in second place! Laughing kuessen_sich Trilly-07-14james_results[1] The winner of the Silver Paw Award!



Cindy, your story will be posted on the main W. V. Cats website. How do you want to be identified. Just "Cindy", Cindy plus forum user name, or your real first and last name? I think you should have your real first and last name, but chose whichever you feel the most comfortable with.

Jim, your story will be published as well on the main W. V. Cats website, since it was such a close vote. Very Happy

Thank you Cindy and Jim for contributing such great stories! I greatly enjoyed both of them, and hope you both will write more stories.
