Cover Story


  Enter your response   A Mega-Prompt   Read published entries

Congratulations, you're the star attraction of a featured "cover story" article, to be published nationwide. It's all about you "living the dream".

How did you "make it big", and what is the unnamed magazine that will soon have your big smile plastered all over it? In addition to being famous (for whatever it was that you accomplished), it just so happens that you're a first class writer. For this reason, the magazine has requested that your story be written from a "first person point of view". That would be from inside your little (big) head.

Don't forget, this is creative fiction we're talking about. Dreams do come true! Your only restriction will be the limits imposed by your own imagination.


Word Bank - fame; fortune; celebrity status; photo shoot; paparazzi; movie; security guards; interviews; autobiography; book deal; limousine; chauffeur; personal secretary; private jet; Hollywood;
