Okay, we all know one of my recent articles was about having great hooks. How about the contest here http://www.bulwer-lytton.com/ which caters to those hooks that are awful. Some of these had me rolling in my chair they are so funny.

The True Extent

Jason Mamoa as Conan

Finally, I was mentioned elsewhere for one of my blogs this week. I was really amazed that the people at Whipped Cream tweeted about me. I must have done something good. Sorry this was so short as well as being full of things from all over the web. Must have been the ten thousand, yes that’s right 10,000 plus actually, word day I had on Wednesday. I just had to finish the story I was working on because the characters just wouldn’t shut up! But it also wiped me out! LOL!
See ya tomorrow!
