Six Word Story XXI
The topic for this contest is: SIX WORD MEMOIR XXI.
"Legend has it that Ernest Hemingway was challenged to write a story in only six words.
His response was, "For sale: Baby shoes. Never worn.""
RULES FOR SWS XXI:
- THEME: Summer Vacations! Write a six word TRUE story about: A vacation or trip you took during the summer when you were a child.

*IMPORTANT!
Yes, these entries are going into a multi-author book titled, "Get Ready! Get Set! GO!" (at least they're supposed to be anyway lol).
As of right now (8/2/09 - 8:35am PST), the last chapter is "chapter 315". When you first click "Submit Entry" there will NOT be a place (yet) to change the chapter number, and it will be thrown into the book as a prologue (chapter 0). I get the prologue! ;-) Please, please, please, PLEASE make sure you fix the chapter number on your entry.
Save your entry in "Preview" mode first. After you save (preview) your entry to FanStory, edit as usual and fix the chapter number before you release it to the public. There will be a little tiny box at the top of your edit screen to put chapter numbers in. Please keep them going up in chronological order. Thank you so much for helping me with this!
Now click to reserve your spot, 'cause this contest seems to fill up so freakin' fast you wouldn't believe lol.
Good Luck and Have Fun! :-)
