    Now for some caveats, because I don't have any caviar.

    A Title for your pages helps the people reading and voting to keep track of your masterpiece. A title also helps the author in that it's like a mini logline.


    Removed awful advice on page counts.


    The caveats here are just my opinion, that's why the separate message.

    Good Luck

      Sizzling, Eh?

      Are you allowed to have a caveat on a nude beach?

      Oh, sorry! I was thinking of a cravat!

      "Multiple entries excepted."

      American for "accepted"?

        We in America refer to that as a "creative homophonic juxtaposition".

        Nude beaches are encouraged with or without caveats. Especially with or without sizzling caveats.

            I wish!

            I'll look into a small bag of kitty litter and a celery stalk (they're kinda like palm trees but shorter).

              Three weeks left. No pressure. Easy as falling off a log.

                Wooooooooooooow! I actually made it to one thousand posts.



                I did look into a small bag of kitty liter. Or is it litter? Anyways, it wasn't a pretty sight. I guess that's what I get for buying kitty lit(t)er from a second hand store.

                  Do you mean you looked into a liter of litter literally? I'm outlining as fast as I can, but my co-competing projects are jealous types - always nagging for attention.

                    Quite the cunning linguist you are, bioprofessor. And you're right about the litter being a liter of litter. I read it on the lavish lavender ummmm container. The lively lass Larry at the store did mention that.

                      Average alliteration, actually.

                          Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, theblondewritr.

                          For my next one thousand messages I will type with my feet while juggling three chainsaws. Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnd all the while balancing a double bladed viking battle ax on my nose... Annnnnnnnnnnnnnnd on top of the ax will be balancing a little kitty cat. You needn't be concerned because the cat is the neighbors. I was thinking of balancing a harp seal on the ax but they're just too evil.

                            Only two weeks left.

                            Good Luck.





                            I could only find two chain saws and the cat ran off.

                            I think the harp seal ate "em.
