			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Okay kids, so check this out.  First and foremost, I am NOT a Twilight fan.  Yeah I know, I&#8217;ll probably end up on some CIA list for this or something, but I&#8217;m just not.  My daughter, on the other hand, is totally into that little cutie Taylor Lautner, and if I have one more female tell me how much my son looks like &#8220;Edward&#8221;, I might just lose my mind.</p>
<p>However, I&#8217;ve found a contest where you have to choose a side and you could win an Amazon Kindle or one of several other prizes.  Does this have something to do with the Twilight saga?  Heck no.  Weren&#8217;t you listening when I said I wasn&#8217;t a fan.  I am, however, a fan of fantasy fiction and this contest is killer, (no pun intended).</p>
<p><a href="http://moirarogers.com/blog/archives/2261">Author Moira Rogers</a> is throwing a Pick a Side contest until the 14th of June.  She has created two interesting characters and it&#8217;s our job to pick the best.  One is a vampire lumberjack and the other is a werewolf bootlegger.  Yeah, I got all tingly too.  But that&#8217;s not the big thing for me.  You see, in my world ( the real one, not the one I put into my stories), I am the granddaughter of an actual bootlegger and I&#8217;m married to a guy who&#8217;s known as &#8220;Chainsaw&#8221;.  No, I&#8217;m not making this stuff up, but I do feel a story coming on.</p>
<p>So, here&#8217; s the thing.  You have to head over to Moira&#8217;s blog and pick a side.  But more than that, you&#8217;ve got to be ready to defend your answer because once you&#8217;ve made your decision, you&#8217;ve got to do a blog post about it then leave a comment (a real one, not one of those &#8220;great post&#8221; comments) about why you chose the side you did.  Then, Moira will add a link from her site to yours and tell which side you chose.  This is where you need to be ready, because others on that list of links may come by your site and either agree with you, or try and get you to switch sides.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://moirarogers.com/blog/archives/2261"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.moirarogers.com/blogs/teamvampheader.jpg" alt="I’m on Team Vampire. Find out more." /></a></p>
<p>So, which side am I picking?  Well, that was a tough decision.  As I said, my grandfather was an actual bootlegger in the late 20&#8217;s/early 30&#8217;s.  From what I understand, he had a heck of a time trying to explain to my great-grandmother why there were bullet holes in the trunk of her car one Sunday morning.</p>
<p>But, my hubby has been cutting trees down for a long time and has been known as &#8220;Chainsaw&#8221; since the early 90&#8217;s.  Plus, the idea of having a big rugged man nibbling on my neck does a lot more for me than the idea of a big furry guy peeing on my leg.  So, I vote for The Vampire Lumberjack.</p>
<p>Okay, stop laughing and get over to <a href="http://moirarogers.com/blog/archives/2261">Moira&#8217;s site</a> and cast your vote before it&#8217;s too late.  And remember, &#8220;Vote for the Lumberjack and you won&#8217;t get a Back Attack&#8221;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is only one of the many blogs I run on a fairly regular basis.  I&#8217;ll admit, I&#8217;m not as proficient as I should be, but I do what I can.  Anyway, one my blog <a href="http://thepromptwriter.com">The Prompt Writer</a>, I post writing prompts for both fiction and non-fiction writers.  A couple of days ago, I posted a list of fictional headlines that were in need of the stories that went with them.  One of the headlines was &#8220;European Princess arrested for lewd behavior&#8221;.  It just came to me, I can&#8217;t explain from where.  Anyway, one of my <a href="http://www.raceforamillion.co.uk/">readers</a> mentioned that the first thing that came to his mind was Princess Jasmine.  I thought this was kind of funny, but as I really stopped to think about it, I found myself coming up with a story tidbit to go with it.  So, here is the story I came up with to go with it.</p>
<p>European Princess Arrested For Lewd Behavior</p>
<p>An Austrian princess was placed under arrest last night at a local nightclub.  Officials claim that the 47 year old princess was flashing club-goers and attempting to dance on one of the billard tables.  Members of her entourage were seen trying to contain the royal, to no avail.  As she was being escorted from the establishment, the princess shouted toward a crowd of reporters, &#8220;I was just trying to show the world what Royaly Drunk really looked like&#8221;.  Representatives of the royal household had no further comments.</p>
