A couple times a year, Jason Evans who runs The Clarity of Night blog, posts a picture and hundreds of people write stories based on the picture in 250 words or less.
I’ve participated in the last two and this time … again. The difference with this entry is that I actually, finally, got into his ‘Forties Club‘ with my entry titled:Life’s Treasure.
I’m very excited about it and want you to read it on his blog, so I’m not going to post the story here until I find out if it’s placed/won/just gotten some good views. 
Go take a look … at mine … at others and enjoy some very short … very very short … stories.
Aimee Laine is my pen name. I am a North Carolina photographer who moonlights as a writer.
My articles "The Making of the Vagina Monologues" and "It's all in the Details" were published in 2009 in local media including my town's newspaper and a prominent local magazine.
As a business owner, I have been single handedly responsible for all written materials and regularly include personal stories as well as short works in our studio's newsletters and other print publications since 2005.
I'll tell you that the success of my high profile photography business is in the emotion filled messages that accompany the images published in the studio's blog.
I live in Apex, North Carolina with my gorgeous husband Ron, our son and identical twin girls.
I finished the first draft of my first novel, Mirage, June 1, 2009. 
Woo-hoo! Great job, Aimee! I’ll cross my fingers for ya.
Thank you Claire!
