Okay, let's see what your idling motors turn out with:

Time Enough For Love

(psst!  I know it's a used title, but I got a great deal on it, so what the heck -- write your story/poem/essay/what have you using it, then let the editors change the title!)

For those who aren't quite sure what the point is...

Take this title (phrase?)
Write a story or other piece using it as the title (first line, theme, whatever:-)
Polish, and if you're ready, send it in (use SUB: in the subject line)

Or if you want a few more pokers in the fire:

1.  Pick a noun (dog, car, house, battery, DVD, mother)
2.  Write down ten characteristics of this noun
3.  Pick one characteristic
4.  Write down five ways that love relates to that characteristic
5.  Write down five ways that this characteristic blocks love
6.  Pick one or more of those conflicts, and write a story around it, all under the rubric "Time Enough For Love"

Go for it!  Let's hear those keyboards click!
