So there are a few facts about me. Did any surprise you?
Today’s post is a writing challenge. This is how it works: contributing bloggers each picked a number between 12 and 74. The submitted numbers were then assigned to other bloggers challenged with writing at least one piece using that exact number of words.
I was assigned the word count number: 30
In today's world very little surprises me any more.
ReplyDeleteI thought I knew quite a lot about you but I learned a few things today, the Achilles Heel thing is interesting, wonder how that fear developed to that extent.
ReplyDeleteThis is fascinating! I love finding out about my friends!
ReplyDeleteYay! I was finally able to get through! I hadn't been able to for months no matter what I tried. I'm originally from KY (now in SC)! We have a lot in common although I'm a bit older at 49 (I still act 12 though). This was a terrific way to get to know you better! (Rena)
