Writing Exercise

Several people who didn't do this exercise back in early March commented that they would like to have another chance. I've changed the rules a bit to make it more challenging.

Step 1. Use this random number generator to get one integer between 1 and 635.

Step 2. Search the blog for the Face-Lift with that number.

Step 3. Starting with the Guess the Plots, write down the first ten nouns you find that contain at least seven letters. You may skip proper nouns if you wish. If you don't come up with ten

Eternal Knight

1. It's another freakin' vampire novel where he's all tortured and broody because he can't tell if he loves her or if he's just kinda hungry and she's into him because he's so mysterious but protective and he's like "We can never be together" and she's all "But I love you!" and we all know where this is going but let's face it: people never seem to get tired of this one so shall we just cut to the chase and talk price?

Once he followed her, kitten-fluffy, snake-fast, followed her ahead of her to the locked lead door. Time and patience has taught him to sit and wait for her return. He only miaows.

I'll Be Back . . .

. . . from my vacation Friday evening. I've left enough cartoons and Face-Lifts etc. to get you through the week. The writing exercise will post Wednesday. It'll be like I'm not even gone, certainly no worse than when your psychiatrist went on vacation. Better, in fact, as you pretty much paid for your psychiatrist's vacation.

Don't forget to check in with the Brenda Novak auction, which ends on the weekend.[image error]

Guess the Plot

Tara Born of Tears

1. Tara was born to the sidhe, a magical child with vast powers--but one weakness: she is always crying. Though she's practically a superhero, she's also a social outcast. When Derrick discovers her secret, can he make her smile at last?

2. Vishnu is pissed. Zeus became famous just for pulling fully-formed Athena out of his forehead. It's enough to make a creation god cry, but if Vishnu manages to produce a woman from eye water, then the Greek Gods'll be lucky if a
