Dear Summer Shorts Free Book Contest Lady
Dear Summer Shorts Free Book Contest Lady:
I appreciate that you’re giving away five free autographed books to lucky kids who write about the stuff they did this summer, but what if we can’t think of anything to write about?
My summer was extremely boring as always, with only seven alien invasions, three journeys to the center of the Earth, six trips through time, one trip to see my brother enter a rhino-riding contest, and a failed attempt to convince Pluto not to leave our Solar System. How am I ever supposed to compete against other kids who had really exciting summers?
Sure, I could make stuff up and say that I went to an amusement park or swam in the ocean, but you’d probably see right through that. I just hope that other kids have thrilling enough lives to download these instructions and send a short paragraph-long essay to your email address by September 7th. Thanks a lot!
Sincerely,
Septina Nash, Summer Blockbuster

Fantastic, Sep (do you mind if I call you Sep? I feel we've bonded to that point.) I appreciate the plug. I'm sure the entries will now come pouring in.
