Creative Writing Contest
A simple contest for bloggers and non-bloggers alike:
Find a drawing related to a patent application and use it in anyway you choose as the basis for a short work of fiction. You can either write 150 words or more in a comment or just leave a link to a blog post.
To quote Wikipedia:
“In most countries, the text and illustrations of patents are excused for copyright and can be considered to be in the public domain.”
The contest is open until October 1st. I will choose the best entry and award them $6 or an undisclosed object to be delivered by mail , whichever the winner would prefer. All contests must have rules. Here is a rule…
The following people are excluded from my contest:
- Ted Nugent
Good luck to any and all entrants.

Ken, I would suggest that you market your device yourself as a weight loss strategy
