Reveal life to Claire, win big
Rounder Records recording artist Claire Lynch is posing the ulimate in word economy in a creative writing contest, entitled “Go short, win big with Claire.”
“It’s deceptively simple: Write your life in six words,” she says.
According to Lynch’s Web site, www.clairelynch.com, she “is convinced that we all have stories worth telling.”
Lynch was inspired by Smith magazine’s call for people to write their lives in just six words. The magazine published almost 1,000 of the responses from writers, both famous and obscure.
Claire Lynch will pick the winner, who receives an iPod Shuffle pre-loaded with all six of her Rounder releases. They are: Crowd Favorites (2007); New Day (2006); Lovelight (2000); Friends for a Lifetime (1998); Silver and Gold (1997); and Moonlighter (1995).
The contest kicks off today, April 22.
The rules posted on Lynch’s Web page are:
- No more than two entries per person
- Submit your six-word bio to clairelynchband@gmail.com
- Include your name, email address, city and state
- Deadline for entries is May 31.
Heed the moral of Claire Lynch Band guitarist Jim Hurst’s six-word bio: “Procrastination keeps me from completing my“. Pick up your pen and get creative today!
The winner will be announced in Lynch’s June e-newsletter, which can be obtained by subscribing on her Web site.
