I had an e-mail in my inbox this evening that invited me to submit a personal photo (not necessarily of myself, but of whatever), along with an essay about the photo to the website 1000 Words. The site started in Australia, and is now going global with submissions from all over the world. (That's what "global" means.) *eye roll*
The site's creator, David Chin, is looking for new material and is interested in hearing from pretty much anyone, near as I can tell. Check it out!
