Cougar Stories Wanted for Anthology

Good Morning Writers,

Have you written your "cougar" story for A Shaker of Margaritas: Cougars on the Prowl? Mozark Press has issued a call for submissions for intriguing stories between 1,500 – 3,500 words. The protagonist should be a boomer (born between 1946-1964) and the story must allude to a "cougar" interest. 

Don't go for the obvious, but look for a unique take on the older woman/younger man flirtation or relationship. Stories with layers, unusual scenarios, and just good storytelling will have the best chance of being included in the anthology.

Don't delay! Deadline is March 1, 2011.

Stories in My Head--Now to Get Them Written

My best stories come to me when I'm relaxed and have time to think. I'm working on a novel (can you believe it!) and it seems that during that short period of time when I put down the book I'm reading and before I go to sleep, my mind turns to my characters. I work on plot, scenes, and dialog.

Another time stories pop into my head is in the shower. Do you think it could be that when I'm washing my hair, I'm massaging my brain? Well, maybe that's a bit far fetched, but it is a great time for me to think.

I hope everyone is thinking about a great Cougar story! I know we writers like to wait until the last minute, but I have received some excellent stories and know more will be popping up in my in-box well before the deadline.
