Yeah, whatever. I had nothing to do with this. How many times do I have to tell you people that I'm not a writer?

Sounds like they need to be guided to The Story thread in the Hall of Gifts before there's any chance you'll start being believed, dAN. And, I think that thread will still make it hard to convince them.... :)

I agree. There is indeed no denying I'm no writer.

Wait, I just looked at your link. Someone got ahold of my password! 8O

There's nothing that would gross you out as a human, or a woman....no, this would gross out the writer in you.
Oh! Well, that's okay, then. Send it straightaway!

We'll send it over, as long as you PM Tom. I don't have a manuscript, because A) I'm not a writer, therefore I don't have any manuscripts, and B) I'm not a writer, therefore I don't have any manuscripts.

Oh yeah? Then who's this "D. Southard" guy whose name is on half the chapters?

And anyhow, I didn't specify *what* you guys had done again, did I? :lol:

Half? It's less than half, something like 13 out of 32 chapters. And for all I know Tom writes under the pen name 'D. Southard'. All I can attest to is I didn't write anything.

I laughed. I cried. It's better than Cats.

Yay! We have another quote for the back cover of the book.

Thanks Cail!!!!! :biggrin:

By the way, how did you end up reading the book?
In any case you NAILED the review.
That's exactly how I felt when I read it.

Its true. I didn't write a word of it. Dan did it all.

Um....Dan Pigeon did write it...from a certain point of view.

Kind of like Darth Vader killing Anakin Skywalker. Yeah that makes sense.
