Gerald wins contest!
Gerald reads his short story at the Odyssey Fantasy Workshop
NTSFW member Gerald won the National Grammar Day Short Story Contest sponsored by The Grammar Girl for his short story, “The Origin of Point of View in Paleolithic Epic Poetry”.
It begins, “The first story ever told was told in first person. It was told around a campfire by Ogg who raised both his fists into the air and exclaimed in a loud voice: “I killed a mammoth!” Read the whole story.
The Mineral Wells Index reported, “Mignon Fogarty, the New York Times best-selling author who hosts Grammar Girl, said ‘I loved your story; it was clever and made me laugh’.” Mignon Fogarty read the piece in her podcast here.
Congratulations, Gerald!
