This winter, to highlight local voices and curate local content specially made for their Short Story Dispensers, the San Jose Public Library organised a pretty special short fiction and comic contest. Open to authors of all ages (the youngest was just 3, the oldest 77), this project was a blooming success: between the short story contest and the comic making contest, almost 150 works were submitted!
Let’s hope this will be the first of many successful contests for the San Jose Public Library!

I have never been a big believer in luck. The concept that success is a result of actions out of our control and hidden to reality. But fortune. I can get behind fortune. For where luck leaves... [+]

every drip, every puddle –
