SiteShow Your Thanks and Win a Free Essay Writing E-Course
This contest is being run by Amy Paturel, teacher of our class Essay Writing: How to Find the Story in You: And Sell It.
As some of you know, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. I should probably write an essay about WHY turkey day makes me light up. But since I have enough on my plate these days (pun fully intended), I thought I would start a new tradition. Truth is, I’m just borrowing a genius idea from my friend and fellow writing instructor Monica Bhide.
So in the spirit of gratitude and creating abundance, I’m calling on YOU (and all of your loved ones, friends, colleagues and enemies whom you choose to send this message), to share what Thanksgiving means to you. The person who tugs at my heart strings the most will get a free essay writing class (Premium version) when the new session starts up on January 11.
Please forward this message on to anyone who may be interested. To learn more about the course, please visit the Renegade Writer e-course page.
NOTE: All entries must be received by Thanksgiving. You can e-mail your entries to amy@amypaturel.com. [lf]

Said this on November 12th, 2009 at 3:26pm:These aren’t meant to be full essays (though that’s fine, too). I just need a few paragraphs about what Thanksgiving means to you.
Thanks for checking! I will say that anything over 1,000 words is too much for this purpose.

Substitute Teacher's Saga: Thankgiving Contest
Said this on December 28th, 2009 at 1:59pm:[...] When I look back twenty-years-ago, my family seemed so large, while my husband’s seemed too small. So much has changed in twenty-years. My husband’s hair is gray, I’m Jewish, we have an eleven-year-old boy, and a seven-year-old girl. We’ve moved six times in our fifteen-years of marriage. Our one constant is my in-laws’ home. While my extended families have weakened for a variety of reasons, my nuclear family has one place we can always stay. Each year for Thanksgiving, there’s a slightly different group of people at my in-law’s home, but the same core are always present: my mother and father-in-law, my sister-in-law, her husband, and two children, my husband, our two kids, and me. My mother always stops by for a while and my sister always spends the day. Everyone else is just gravy. * http://therenegadewriter.com/2009/11/04/show-your-thanks-and-win-a-free-essay-writing-e-course/ [...]
