You've been here before. Oh yes. OK, well I stole that first line, "You've been here before." from Stephen King. It's actually the first line of his terrifying novel about a small town that pretty much goes nuts, Needful Things. But I digress...

Did you ever see our Student Writing Showcase from last year? Well now's your chance. Click here, take a look. I'll wait.

Pretty cool, right? Well we're doing it again this year... except the only difference is that this year, we want YOU! That's right! We want YOUR WRITING in our 2008 Showcase!

Send your best stuff to word@weeklyreader.com. Poetry, fiction, essays, whatever you've got, we want it!

Be sure to write "Student Writing Showcase" in the subject line of your email (or "SWS" if you're into the whole brevity thing.)

I don't have an actual deadline for this one. The deadline probably should have been like last month. Oops. See, you're not the only procrastinator!

Alright, for the sake of argument, let's say the deadline is January 31. OK? But it doesn't really matter cuz you're going to email your writing to us right now, right? Woo hoo! Looking forward to reading it!
