Editor in chief explains the consequences of missing a deadline to the new intern
20 minutes left!
Literati!
Finalists have 20 minutes to get in their entries! I haven’t checked the male pouch–oops! MAIL pouch (which brings to mind a question: is junk mail kept in a male pouch?). Maybe we have a few finalist entries still to post, but surely everything will be posted by tomorrow afternoon, and then the voting will begin!
We will also post a list of Penn (station) names and the real authors, and see who can get the most correct. Special prize to most correct guesses.
Thornton Sully has Jack Londoned his way across the globe sleeping with whatever country would have him, and picking up stray stories along with way. A litter of dog-eared passports that have taken up residence in his sock drawer are a constant temptation, but, as the founder in 2009 of A Word with You Press, dedicated to helping you tell your story persuasively and with passion, it’s not likely he will stray too far from the towers in Moscow, Idaho, unless it is to pursue women (actually, just one) in Prague or the Bohemian village of Ceske Budejovice in the Czech Republic. Authors who have sought his advice have won major awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, the Isabelle Allende Miraposa Award for new fiction, and the Best Poetry Award from San Diego Writers’ Awards.
“I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.” Thornton Sully, plagiarizing E.B. White
and it looks like she’s enjoying the moment. just sayin…

Let’s add up the photo. Woman who saw “Annie Hall” too many times is tied up by a man dressed like an unemployed monkey grinder who saw too many spaghetti westerns, but not enough Viagra commercials. Check. Woman has her head on cold steel and back on splintery wood after being roughed up, kidnapped without flowers or dinner first. Check. The man laughs at her, because she is about to be run over by a train’s cow catcher. Check. The man (not the sharpest pencil) has forgotten to tie her legs together. Check. Tip to you men who get off on boundage. This is not a good first date idea. Lose the rope, bow tie and hat. No woman wants to tie the knot this way or be thought of as a cow led to the slaughter.
He does not look like arch villain Snidely Whiplash to me.
