Do you have a secret life? Is your cat really an alien collecting information to beam back to his ship? Are you actually famous, but you're living in disguise as an ordinary kid so you can defeat the enemy before he destroys the planet? You may be a writer.

Take heart, you are not alone! Some people even get paid to do this. Come join the rest of us for a day of capturing the stories before they get away. You may even find out how to get published.

The Redmond Association of SPokenword (RASP) encourages children in kindergarten through 6th grade to write a story or poem about meeting someone from another country or planet. Entry forms and guidelines are available on the RASP web site. Entries must be received by April 28.
