Paula wrote: "I have been writing a haiku everyday and posting it to twitter in the morning, typically ~10:00 AM. I will continue to do this and count it as my contest entry. Will that do?"

Ah, apparently it does. From the newsletter:

What: The novel is passé. The short story is outmoded. Even Lonelygirl15's videoblog is yesterday's news. The new medium of creativity is the status update. Aficionados of Twitter and Facebook already understand the art and power of instant communication. We're taking it one step further: Can you tell your friends a story using only your Goodreads status updates? You can create a fiction or nonfiction story, and you can use as many updates as you want. Post only once (maybe a succinct haiku posted at a carefully selected time of day?) or go crazy and post every five minutes all day long (be the first to micro-blog a modern War and Peace). It's up to you!

I really enjoyed this collection of the out-there, wacky and weird tales and poems from the magazine. I had never heard of LCRW and no longer feel an orphan; I have finally found my tribe of writers. Great fun. ]]> <![CDATA[Paula joined a group.]]> http://www.goodreads.com/group/show/14149.Goodreads_Status_Update_Writing_Contest Paula joined the Goodreads Status Update Writing Contest group. ]]> <![CDATA[Paula added 'Flannery O'Connor : Collected Works : Wise Blood / A Good Man Is Hard to Find / The Violent Bear It Away / Everything that Rises Must Converge / Essays & Letters']]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46539053 Flannery O'Connor : Collected Works : Wise Blood / A Good Man Is Hard to Find / The Violent Bear It Away / Everything that Rises Must Converge / Essays & Letters (Library of America) by Flannery O'Connor
