Guess Who's Coming to Dinner Challenge
August 19, 2007

A celebrity is coming to dinner!

Here is a challenge to stretch your imagination. A celebrity (living or dead) is coming to dinner at your house with you (and your family if you'd like), and your challenge is to write a story about that dinner. Make sure you interact with your celebrity and tell us all about it, the food, the conversation, everything. You provide the reason for the dinner, the plot, all the fine points. Good luck!

This is a short story challenge intended for the week. No need to rush; take your time.

Well, I don't know if I'm 'fast'... but as my wife has always maintained, 'wow... that was quick'. I still don't know what she meant...
