Social media is storytelling. Unknowingly or not, we routinely tell the stories of our lives via social media. So for writers like me, such platforms are irresistible.

Facebook and Twitter, however, only tell part of the story.

Countless status updates and tweets I read leave me thinking, “Yeah, OK … but what ELSE happened?”

Loyal readers and fellow storytellers, here is your chance to share more. Much more.

In the comments section below, answer the following question for a chance to win two great prizes: a Vera Bradley eyeglass case in Island Blooms (that oh-so-pretty turquoise pattern you see above) and a signed copy of Nerdy Thirty. Both are perfect for the summer reading season: holding your eye (or sun) glasses, and great to bring on vacation.

One winner will be chosen on Friday, June 1, based on comments to the following writing prompt from The Book of Questions by Gregory Stock. A Q&A with the winner will also be featured on my blog.
