The contest is starting later than planned due to the death of my sister.?  The first day of the contest will begin on Feb 12th and we will be kicking off the contest with one submission only.?  The writer starting off the contest will be Roger Dean Kiser.?  Every other day after that we will have our usual three to four stories.

What hasn't changed is that the deadline to submit is Feb 13th.?  The topic is love, any kind of love imaginable eg, love of your job, your wife, your dog, a special flower, the internet etc.

Both fiction and non-fiction is accepted, no length requirement.?  No submission to storytime tapestry from previous years permitted, but you may have submitted them elsewhere - that is perfectly fine.? 

Maximum of 3 entries per writer.

Good luck everyone and thank you for your patronage.
