Quick Fire Interviews. Where I ask 10 writers 10 questions…

…and ask them to answer each in 10 words, or less.

Well, writers, being writers…. SOME of them told me straight out, “Not going to happen.” One did the assignment twice— once wrong, once right. Such an overachiver! ;-) Others, did what most writers do, ignored the damn directions and forged ahead. I love that.

Here are the first 10 writers brave enough to say YES, without even seeing the questions. Oh, so, so brave. Seriously.

Pour yourself a cold drink, or a hot mug of java and read on:

Isn’t it ironic?

Last week, she had her wallet stolen in a local shopping center.

Police arrested Shirley Walter Guynn, of Cana, Va.

I find it doubly ironic that the dude’s name is Shirley.…

Let's talk books. And book covers.

For as many of my author friends who are ecstatic about the way their book covers turned out.. there must be someone in the wings feeling a bit put out.

Have you seen this story? Got to agree with the author on that one.
And then there’s this one: Yikes.

There is even a contest for the worst covers. Here’s the 2005 finalists.

Some bad book covers I found are funny because they’re out dated: like these
and some I have to say I like, you know, for the art.

You can censor me but you can't shut me down. Just ask my husband.

So, I went to a party. No news there.

I took pictures. No news there.
I let people draw on me. No news there.
I posted a picture of the drawing on Facebook. No news there.

Until… a few hours later when FB gave me a warning, then pulled it.

So, I’m posting the picture here.
No news there.
My new best friend, Kathleen drew that lovely anatomically correct body part, though some of the guys thought it a bit stubby and stubbly. My arm was the guinea pig for her art, as she boasted it was her forte’ in

Saying Goodbye to a Comedic Dynasty.

You’ve all seen them. The wild and sometimes disturbing t-shirts of T-Shirt Hell. My confession? I find even the creepy ones quite smart.

Well, it will be over soon. here’s a message from the owner/creator:


I’m done. I’m finished. I can’t take the stupidity anymore, so I’m leaving and I’m taking my website with me. As of Tuesday, Feb 10, 2009, T-Shirt Hell will be no more.

No, I’m not selling out to some douchebag corporate entity. No, we’re not being sued by any of the over 40 companies that have sent us cease and desists over the years. No,

Compliments of my 14 year old son

It’s true.
Every fortune cookie saying automatically becomes funnier if you add these 3 words: IN THE BED.
try it.

A closed mouth gathers no feet. in the bed

He who throws dirt is losing ground. in the bed

You can always find happiness at work on Friday. in the bed

Do not mistake temptation for opportunity. in the bed

A woman who seeks to be equal with men lacks ambition. in the bed

The greatest danger could be your stupidity. in the bed

He who laughs at himself never runs out of things to laugh at. in the bed
