"Look at these carvings! It must have taken them 200 years to make this!" *BOOM!* "Look, I made a bomb, and it took me, what, two minutes?"

 Wherein Jack tries to remember something important.

 I have short term memory loss. It runs in my family. At least I think it does. Where are they....hey, have we met?

 Okay, so I'm not that bad, but I have forgotten something important...I'll probably remember it tonight when I'm falling asleep then not feel like waking up to write it down. But when I do remember it I will tell you all about it since it involves you. (Scared yet?)

 I should have Abolished's first edit done today. I am putting it off because as much as I love cackling over my evil cliff hanger it still makes me sulk. I've been putting it off all weekend, but if I don't get it started the book will never be published and I think a couple of readers will come and hunt me down, and I don't really want to be hunted right now. Unless you bring oreos.

 I forgot how much I hate the first stages of editing. It is during this time I learn how often I use terms like, "He nodded." "He looked." "He felt." Until I want to stab my own book. I always dig out a thesaurus and find replacement words, but it is still annoying. I pity my editors, and admire them for making it through without throwing it out the window.
 That is why I am holding a....contest. I don't think it is a contest, but we will call it one and quibble about names at a later date. "Right now just buy it, and love it, and mass produce it!"

 While writing the Haphazard books I gathered a lot of inspiration from Josh Groban's songs. (Shocking, I know.) Below I am going to post all of the songs I listened to the most, the ones which remind me of characters from the books. Between now and Friday, everyone who has read the books can guess as to which song belongs to which characters, and the winner...well, might get something other than cookies. How about a sneak peak into book two, or book three if one of my beta readers guesses? Does that sound like a good prize? (I'll send cookies too.)
 We could do it up to Wednesday, but Wednesday is John's birthday and we are trying to plan something special for that.

 Anyways, there are no rules, except I will ask that all who know book one's biggest secret, if you could still please keep it? (Not that anyone has let anything slip so far, you've all been fantastic. I love how creative you all get in keeping it.) (And yes, the secret someone does have a song.)

 So, shall we begin?

Song One
Song Two

Song Three

Song Four

Song Five

Song Six, not a Josh Groban one, really shocking

Song Seven

Song Eight

 So, time to start guessing!!

 Allons-y!
