Thursday Thoughts - HELP!!!!!!!!! WHAT ABOUT A TRIVIA MEME. My contest.

 

Bon Jour Mes Amis,

Unless you have never read this blog before today you probably know that yesterday was my 50th birthday. So my Mom came up from FL and arrived late. I did not get as much done yesterday as I needed to.  In particular I have been reading an anthology, Burning Up with four stories, almost novellas really. THe stories are by Angela Knight, Nalini Singh, Virginia Kantra and Meljean Brook.

I am on the last story so I should have something for you on this tomorrow. Right now I want to remind you about my contest. I don't require a follow.  I had been calling it 500 by 50 or 500 b4 50, meaning I wanted to get above 500 by my birthday. There are currently a domestic prize for the US and Canada only and an International contest for anyone, including US and Canada.

The main domestic prize is larger now that I have gone over 500 and am standing at 516 and in 34 followers, if it gets to 550 by 11/8 I add a second domestic prize (TBD). What have you got to lose? NUTTIN!

I thought of a fun game meme based on fairly current books/movies/TV shows.  I got the idea from Jeopardy.  It is to be called Supernatural Summary.  What form it will take is still gelling — if you have any ideas send them over.  If you have any summaries, send them over (with answer). Should it be a one off or contest over a period of time with the results cumulative, a  trivia quiz contest, a weekly hop with one or two summaries posed by changing  or the same host or some other format?

An example of a summary from Jeopardy was something like, "The search for a black sculpture leads to mayhem and violence. The sculpture is not the real item sought."  An alternate could be, The black bird they search for is not the item being sought." What is this movie? The answer was The Maltese Falcon.

I think the riddle idea is great. But they shouldn't be too hard or require we think ourselves into a state.


WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS AND IDEAS!  I would really love to know! You guys are the important factor — what interests you interests me. If there is anything else you would like to see (printable) please let me know through this post's comment.

All, please let me thank you for the lovely wishes on my birthday.  You have made an old lady feel good!

So my mom is here and I have to hang out with her some. I will have shorter posts.

AND next week, right after this contest ends we will have a signed edition of Tyger, Tyger and a lovely hand crafted necklace. PLUS, and I am really excited about this: the author of this stupendous group by a major "new" talent, Kersten Hamilton will be guest posting!!!! Don't know exactly what dates. But look for it next week.

AND REMEMBER ONLY REALLY GREAT PEOPLE READ THIS BLOG SO YOU ARE THE BEST!!!
