Stuck at home and having frightful thoughts about the corona virus? Why not write a story about it for the Rossmoor Homeowners Association annual fiction writing contest. Or you can focus your story on a less gloomy matter. You probably have more time on  your hands than you know what to do with so sit down and knock out 1,000 words. See all the rules here.

 

The winners will get gift certificates to local restaurants that are now open for take out or dining in. In the past, stories have focused on dogs from skid row who found a home in Rossmoor, the ghosts of World War II at a local church and tales of warm romance in our leafy neighborhood. All participants will be invited to an Our Rossmoor picnic in their honor, so you can meet some of your fellow fiction writers over lunch.

 

The deadline is July 1. Judging will be done by a former features editor at the Los Angeles Times and an avid book club member. Good luck.
