Are You the Next Erma Bombeck?

As humorous I like to think I am (and hey...don't bust my bubble if you don't agree), I don't believe I would ever compare myself to Erma Bombeck.....at least not to anyone outside my immediate family and only then after drink had been taken. The reason being is that Erma Bombeck was truly one in a million. Her writing conveyed the thoughts of a regular person who had a very funny take on life. And as much as some other writers are able to make me laugh, no one compares to Erma Bombeck.

So enough of my own thoughts and on to all you essay writers. Here's a contest you might be interested in. It's the 2007 Erma Bombeck writing contest which I saw mentioned on Sherry Stoll's Greeting Card website. Although Sherry writes about opportunities for greeting card writers, she mentions this contest as something of interest to her readers.

Check out the contest guidelines and also be sure to take a peek at Sherry's site. It's filled with some interesting information for those of you who might want to break into the greeting card market.

Have a great Monday!
