Oh yeah, and Happy New Year, everybody!
Leander and I played this game from this book on writing I found at Barnes and Noble for a buck that calls for writing "hooks" (sentences designed to catch attention). It was quite amusing, and I thought I'd share the best of them.
"Three brothers tossed their shotguns and energy swords on the floor and scrambled for dinner."
"Most people burn things they want to forget. I drop them off tall buildings."
"All roads go in a circle if you think about it long enough."
A month of paid time to the person who can write the best poem, short story, or comic based on a hook.
Ready? Go!
