Im not sure how Shryke didn't hear, but it's all over here in the US. Dominating the news for days now, even more so than the shooting at the VA hospital in Texas on the same day.

Maybe Shryke, like Korean Jesus before him, is busy with Korean shit and doesn't have time for the world's problems?

That's close enough, Geez. I barely have time to watch TV anymore. I'm like an ostrich now, with my head in the sand.

No. I paid a vidographer to do it. She was so impressed by my book, and its message, that she gave me half off a $300 promotional package.


More news coming up later today. I am going to need everyone's help, and don't worry, this will be EASY.

You can, but not from the same IP address or using the same e-mail address to log in from.

Great news, guys... nine days into the voting, I'm in FIRST PLACE!

http://bookbzz.com/prize-writer-young-a ... tion-vote/

However, my lead is not an overwhelming one, and there is still a lot of time for my competitors to catch up.

So if there is anyone out there who hasn't voted, please do so. Tell your FB friends to vote too!

This is why I hate popularity contests. I always fucking lose.

Well, not THIS time.

When I left for work this morning, I was in first place in the voting in the writing competition, but when I came back home, one of my competitors had gone from zero votes to over 170, while I'm stuck at around 85.

I'm at a loss as to how I can get enough votes to compete, and you can only vote once per IP address.

Suggestions?
