Feed my kids less processed food, fold and put away their clothes before they need them and say yes to my husband instead of roaming the AW forum

Hey, Mommie, those are some hefty promises, especially the one about not cruising these forums. I know better than to promise something as outlandish as that.:faint:

Well that's no challenge, William - stealing newspapers of course.

Always in the last place you look.

A joke, because – you have no intention of ceasing that particular activity?

If you don't have anything nice to say, don't hit that "submit reply" button.

Rule #1 on AW: respect and support your fellow writers.

Thank you.

Yowch. That was rather uncalled for, don't you think?

Come on - anyone else??

I promise I'll finish Dragon Lands. lol. (Well... I need to finish it anyway, so I'm not sure that really counts.)

Jill,
I think you have a great recipe for a fiction novel here. Especially when it comes to the "instead of roaming the AW forum thing. :)

Vig,
Didn't your mother teach you how to be nice?

:Smack: Stupid me. I guess not.

Since you're such an excellent writer, write this 1000 times: I'm sorry for the rude comment, I'll try to be nicer.

What would I give up? Probably nothing, mainly because I don't expect to make the cut. Not that I don't think my entry is good, but as noted, I am a realist, and there are 307 other entries, many I am sure by published authors that have more experience under their belt. But if I did make it by some stroke of fantastic luck, or I even might begin to think talent? I would still not give up anything, but gain a greater respect for my ability as a writer.

Fictionalized erotica of course, with a few chicken nuggets and some ketchup thrown in.

now that made me chuckle . . .
"oh, baby." she murmers, as she fingers the nuggets between her thumb and index finger. then she slowly dips it into the ketchup

all right i'll stop. erotica is not my area.
but, what will i give up . . .

would give up sex, but that hasn't been happening
would give up smoking, but who are we kidding

would give up caffeine, but my psychiatrists said i need it for my sanity's sake

so . . . i'll give up the idea of giving something up. now that is what i call a great compromise. :wag:
