The Sign of the Cross-eyed Friar

@kate
Never seen that, though I’ve seen “32 ways to kill Hitler”, which sounds like a similar topic. Really fascinating. Have to look that up! 🙂

The Inn of Old Hullabaloo
The Scarlet Ghost
The Hungry Horsefly
The Mosquito’s Mandate

I need to use these. Where did that last one come from? XD

Well, I knew the first week of November was going to be busy and I wouldn’t get much writing done, but 486 words as of right now? Ouch. I am attempting to write every day, little by little, and I’m happy with how it’s going. If 486 words can be considered going. (Sigh) Just keep swimming…

This.

millions of blue blistering barnacles!

Yes! XD I love that one. And “Thundering Typhoons”.
Though I believe it was “billions”… 😛

If anyone reads the Tintin books or has seen the movie, Captain Haddock is my best example of this.

And what’s ridiculous is that he’s so totally messed up, while Tintin is the flawless boy scout. And they’re best friends. XD

Thanks, Hope! Cool, what are you books called? Or do they not have titles yet? Yes, I am writing a book (with my sister, actually), and it’s called The Sorcerer’s Daughter (not sure about the title, but anyway…).
