Melissa says
Faking Authenticity…I'm jumping on the bandwagon for that one. Describes 95% of the poker players I know lol (and maybe 75% of the moms in my neighborhood)
Kimberly says
LOL, these are great! Very creative and they make you think 🙂
Life with Kaishon says
You are so clever.
Dan says
I live the barren abundance story (the semi-desert of NE Colorado) so some years the book is short and other years rain accidentally happens and the book reaches novella length.I'm trying to get deep fried turnip on the heart healthy list, but no takers so far.

Number five sounds like it could be a political platform. I loved this prompt. Fun exercise…
Jessica says
I am so jealous of each and every stinkin' one of you who thought of good ideas for the short books! Great job!

OH, I like numbers 1 and 3. 🙂
Casey says
Haha number three was funny. Good job!
Vivienne says
Love it! I thought about doing this one too. Much more fun to read other people's. Funny!

Wow. I was stumped on that prompt. You did great!
Superstar says
I want to read number 3!!! Right away. I have a credit card waiting…where do I swipe it???LOL Thanks for stopping by my place. I look forward to reading more here!
Los says
Authenticity seems to be an acquired skill sometimes … ironic.

Pile on another vote for Faking Authenticity. It makes me thing of when I offer a sincere apology in the name of humbling the person I am seeking forgiveness from…like when I worked at Starbucks and had out of control customers whom I pretended to extend an offer of consolation. Here is the link to that post. It is one of my favorites although it highlights what an ass I am. http://ijonc.blogspot.com/2009/07/starbucks-madness.html
