I don't buy it when people say they want to write but have "writer's block." Someone once said that if you want to write, you have ideas. It's just a matter of drawing them out. And what's better than Mad Libs to get things going?

Since I couldn't fill out my own Mad Lib, I had my mom do it. Here we go:
Lanen is a woman who is empathetic and has an uncanny resemblance to Elvis. Accomplished at the skill of drawing, both career and life have not seen changes in 4 years. That all shifts with a phone call from her estranged sister, Cindy, who desperately needs help with her money. Will Lanen choose to help, giving up a life filled with joy to live an ugly existence with Cindy in a graveyard? Find out in what critics are calling, "Fanciful": Fall's Big Person.
Now share yours, and share the royalties with me when you inevitably make a million dollars from your book!
