| Thought I'd heard everything, but. . .
I'd hate to be the with the job of opening her mail. Here's my suggestion:
Sweet little girl goes to the corner store for her mommy. Is mugged on the way and loses the money. Runs for home crying, trips over her own feet, falls and breaks her nose. Arrives home, dress torn, shoes scuffed, and finds mommy has run off with the milkman. |

| Actually, I went and read the rules. There are some things that will keep some from submitting (like me):
* First of all, you must have BOUGHT her PREVIOUS book and must send proof of purchase.
* Also, the plot is for the next book in the series ... so it must contain previous characters and fit ...
If I can come up with a plot ... I'll write the book myself.

| Wonder whether more people will read it as an admission of creative bankruptcy or a really cheesy promo/sales stunt? |

| If it was something I wondered about ... but it isn't ... I think I would go with a coin toss.  |
