Get writing, folks... the Herald wants our stories.
"...However, as with the post-war period, the winter of discontent and the age of Thatcherism, we think this will be an era-defining time. It could have a profound effect on everyone in Scotland.
You needn’t be an aspiring novelist to take part, however. We are not asking for structured, plotted narratives. Instead we are asking you to provide a short commentary that will illuminate one important moment or aspect of your life, or the life of a friend and relative.
We are not looking for fiction: your story must be true. We are not looking for history: your story should relate to an incident that happened within the last three months."
Nice idea.

"Much of the history of this newspaper has been a history about people.... it does not languish in the morass of footling informationin which official histories sometimes become stuck. Rather it glories in the frailties and foibles of the people themselves"...
