Minties - chewy old fashioned lollies they were - mint flavoured milky insipid pale green but cheap for a kid on pocket money... the advertisements said:<br /><br />"It's moments like these you need minties."<br /><br />Needless to say the moments were compromising in some way.<br /><br />You are right.

My pretend inner age...Omg—the personal bio section. My pretend inner agent wanted to stop reading, but I kept on because it was hilarious. <br /><br />I love fake queries. I've written a lot of them for books that don't exist. Mostly, they're straight queries, but for ridiculous books... just for the practice. And I usually write a query for a book before I've started drafting it to get the stakes lined out.hlbrixeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-932522813284773632015-05-28T19:47:36.586-04:002015-05-28T19:47:36.586-04:00You can be the first! hahahahahahYou can be the first! hahahahahahmercinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-49258258408070282262015-05-28T17:51:23.632-04:002015-05-28T17:51:23.632-04:00Haha... so many rhetorical questions!Haha... so many rhetorical questions!Stephscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328839483008086049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-37395628081012264152015-05-28T15:52:34.339-04:002015-05-28T15:52:34.339-04:00Wish I had written that!
