Enjoying all that joyous spring warmth and sunshine? Hmm, not so much?
Maybe it’s time to spend all that mandatory indoor time telling your neighbors a true tale from your life. “Everybody Has a Story,” The Columbian feature where readers write their own true-life stories, is looking for contributions.
What sorts of contributions? In recent months we’ve witnessed a marriage proposal that almost wasn’t; a wild horse that turned gentle and loving; a near-death mishap on a snowy mountain; and a truly deadly mishap on a Woodland elephant farm in the 1970s. All of these stories were written by the local people who lived them.
Got a story to add? We’d love to see it. Just remember the following guidelines:
Your story must be true.
It must be no longer than 1,000 words. Shorter is better. No epics here.
Is it one solid story, with a plot that moves from beginning to ending? (“Once upon a time, this happened and then this happened, and it all ended like this.”)
