Mardi Gras was earlier this week, but I can still ask you to “Throw me somethin’, Mister,” as they say in the Big Easy.

It’s not plastic trinket “throws” I want, but your stories, true and well told.

That’s a writing technique called “borrowed interest” and I’m not ashamed to stoop to it to fill the digital pages of this blog. I publish writing prompts, book reviews, and stories from my own life, but my favorite content is YOUR stories.

Here are the guidelines. Now throw me somethin’, Mr.,  Ms., whoever you are! Send your true life stories to sarah.white@firstpersonprod.com and I’ll consider them for publication here.
