5 Incredibly Short Books Written by Me

1.Fertile Wasteland: A Guide to Barren Abundance

2.Vengeful Forgiveness/A Spiteful Pardon

3.Dirty Chastity, The Virgin Prostitute ( A Novel)

4.Faking Authenticity By Being a Legitimate Fraud

5.The Peaceful Warmonger’s Path To Compassionate Massacre

“The point is that the book is of zero size since the title is a contradiction with reality.”
(inspired by Dan)

    Great book titles. All creative. I chose two other prompts b/c I am not that graet of a writer. Have a wonderful day and take care.-Kiki

    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)

    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…

    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
