“He looked briefly to the West, then briefly to the North; the wind whipped his hair up into a ‘fro, and he looked, then, South. She was coming up behind him, which was the only direction he hadn’t looked, and the door swung shut behind him as they realized: they were locked out of the only cabin for hundreds of miles, and she had to use the bathroom.”

“Sobbing beautifully, as only a beautiful woman can, Charlotte whipped her glossy, raven locks back and shook her delicately petite, if defiant, fist in vain at the cowardly retreating back of her one-time-fiance, who had only just previously heartlessly rejected her because of his own pitiful inability to tame her wild, unbridled nature.”

These are fantastic.. thanks for the linky love! Except mine really is the opening sentence to my novel.. is that bad?
Ha! Please feel free to use “Riddle Me This” for one of your next games! It’s so much fun, plus it keeps ya coming back (depending how hard it is!) I would love a link back, as every up’n'coming bloggess loves!
I’m still planning on doing this! Love the picture!
You had better never let go of that Abe photo. That’s brilliant.
And Sera is a relatively new bloggy friend to me but I love her!
Those were hilarious!
Did I forget to tell you how much I love the Abe drawing? It’s great and I could tell who it was without being told.
I didn’t know you and Sera were such good bloggy friends. Looks like I can thank YOU for discovering her! Her profile picture along with your profile picture make me smile every time I see them. Now I forgot what I was going to comment……….wait. I remember……..it was fun to see a post all about you on Mama Kat’s site!
Oh my gosh! I laughed so hard at the bad writing entries…. I think the one from ‘Look Homeward, Young Santa’ was my favorite, tho’.
And the Abe Lincoln drawing is a keeper for the scrap book. It is so well-intentioned!
That is QUITE an Abe drawing! Nice!!!
I am so loving these entries! I gotta sit and do mine!
Awesome Abe Lincoln picture- actually very realistic! A future artist who will make you millions? You should start exploiting now…
Those are some great entries! Love the fear of melting!
I like stopping in at Sera’s too, in fact I think I will do just that.
look at you kissing up to sera. you know you just want to win one of those tide pen minis. these entries are hilarious.
I love the first bad writing example – sock full of porridge. I thought I was the only one with that problem (thanks to the toddler).
That drawing is AWESOME.
I also love the entries. I am so braindead lately, I cannot think of anything! Maybe it will come to me….
Love the Abe drawing. The first sentences are crackin’ me up!!!!
That’s a pretty good likeness of Abe! Well done, Little One!
Thanks for the hilarious summary of bad writing.
Awww! What a nice thing to write about me. Shucks. Thanks so much. You are awesome!
Jen- That picture of Abe Lincoln is CLASSIC! Budding Rembrandt you have there…develop it!
Enjoy the day!

Love the picture of Abe Lincoln. I am off to meet your highlighted blog of the day.
All of the entries have been great! sThe game is a wonderful way to discover new blogs. Your little one’s Abe Lincoln picture is adorable.
Perhaps if you allocated everyone their own paragraph, we could come up with a whole short story.

Wonderful portrait of Abe! I’m really liking your spotlights and the contest entries have been hilarious!
I almost forgot, cute Abe Lincoln picture!
After my post on grammar, I’m not sure how I can write badly now!
I’m having writer’s block when it comes to bad writing…yeah, you read that right, ME, having writer’s block! I don’t know what to do!
