Rita Lomio
First place: Young adults ( 15-17 years old)
Rita Lomio is fascinated by history, a subject that has inspired many of her stories, including " Master," her winning entry in the Weekly´s Short Story Contest.
She got the idea for " Master" during an episode of " Antiques Roadshow" on PBS. A guest on the program produced a violin that his father had received from a tenant in lieu of rent earlier in the century. Lomio was enthralled by the story and the glimpse back into the world of the immigrant factory workers in New York.
" I just stopped watching and went and wrote the story," Lomio said.
In " Master," the protagonist´s father, a New York landlord, accepts a balalaika from a penniless Russian immigrant and his son as payment of their first month´s rent.
Lomio said she wanted to write her story about Russian immigrants but didn´t know of any Russian instruments. She looked on the Internet and discovered the existence of the balalaika.
A senior at Castilleja School in Palo Alto, Lomio has been writing for as long as she can remember. She enjoys setting her stories in the past because " I´m interested in all the different historical time frames."
When Lomio sits down to write a story, she shies away from making outlines and imposing structures. Instead, she just lets her thoughts flow freely.
This strategy works pretty well, she said, until she gets to the ending.
" I start a lot of stories," she said, " but not all of them have endings yet."
Lomio plans to attend college next year but is not sure where she wants to go. When she is not writing, she enjoys playing basketball, tennis and badminton.
