On November 13, the Libraries held an event in\nHodges Library to celebrate National Novel Writing Month. Students who stopped\nby were aided in their writing endeavors by the Herbert Writing Center and\nwere given writing \u201ccare packages.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The highlight of the event was a short story contest. Students who participated could choose from 4 writing prompts and were given around 6 hours to complete a short story, which was then entered for a prize. Read the entries, below. (As you will see, the favored prompt was: \u201cIt’s your first night at the haunted house and your door shuts and locks itself. There’s a ghost in the room with you, and it’s trying to keep something else out.\u201d) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stories we received were all amazing, but the judges could pick only one 1st<\/sup>-place, 2nd<\/sup>-place, or 3rd<\/sup>-place winner. Congratulations to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1st<\/sup> place: Catherine Martella for \u201cLiving Legends\u201d
2nd<\/sup> place: Daniel Dassow for \u201cHim\u201d
3rd<\/sup> place: Gabriella Atkinson for Untitled<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
