Calling all fiction writers 50 and older! Huff/Post50 is seeking short-story submissions from our readers. We believe storytelling is a powerful art form and tool for self-expression, and we have a feeling there’s a lot of hidden writing talent among our audience just waiting to be discovered.

Since October 2011,

I have been going through my scrapbook. I've saved everything. The corsages from two proms are still pressed in there, crumbling with each page turn, looking like some bad powder room potpourri. And it got me thinking about romance and Valentine's Day. Remember when you were a kid and Valentine's...

When we launched Huff/Post50 one year ago, we implied that our generation was not ready to "go gently into that good night." In a year that brought the death of a dear friend, Nora Ephron, at seventy-one years old, I am inspired by a toast that Nora gave...

We wish a very happy birthday to our living "Greek Goddess," Arianna.

The first time I heard about Arianna was when she had written her book on Maria Callas. A Greek writing about a legendary Greek. I didn't know all that much about Maria Callas so I bought the...

Nora Ephron was a one of a kind woman, and an extraordinary talent. We all know that. She was also a one of a kind friend. An extraordinary friend.

I met her when Tom was filming "Bonfire of the Vanities" in New York City and we rented...

Ahhh, spring! Just the word "spring" puts you in a good mood. Clocks "spring" forward to bring us more light. There is a "spring" in my step as I skip to pick up the paper in my driveway. I think of a Slinky as it "springs" down the steps of...

It was such an empowering feeling knowing that I didn't have to wait to be 21 years old to vote. The law had changed, and at 18, I would be able to vote in my first election. For me, that was the gubernatorial election of 1974 in my home state...

I love the process of being able to ask you, readers, a question and get your responses through twitter @RitaWilson and @HuffPost50. February's question was about love and the secrets to long-lasting relationships. It seems your answers were close to what my answers would be: Laughter,...

"To everything, turn, turn, turn, there is a season, turn, turn, turn. And a time for every purpose under heaven."

I loved The Byrd's version of this Bible verse from Ecclesiastes. I didn't know it was from the Bible at the time. It was just a cool song that got...

It's been just over a month since launching Huff/Post50 and seeing what you have been reading has been very informative. It seems our top five most clicked on pieces for the month had boobs, bras, sex, cougars and slut in their titles. If there had been a way to tie...

If you're reading this without glasses consider yourself lucky.

Many of you are looking to your future and creating a vision for the next few decades. Whether your future is Calgon clear or as grey as the hair you dye, life for Post50 Boomers is probably...

Once every few years, Greek Easter falls the same week as "American Easter," as it was called when I was growing up. In order for "Greek Easter" to be celebrated the same week as "American Easter", Passover has to have been celebrated already. We Greeks don't do Easter until after...
