Angry Robot does it again. I just love Lee Harris. He is just full of fun ideas to engage the readers and costumers with authors... I am so entering.

Oooh wow, very interesting. I hope you're joining Harry. I really think you can pull it off :)

Harry Markov said...

Nah, there will be quite a few more skilled people attempting, so I am not in for winning as much as being a part of it.

Bryce L. said...

Happily he rode
Along through the forest
Riding a great steed while
Riotously laughing and decided to go
Yonder.

Did I win?

Harry Markov said...

Nooo, sadly your attempt is at best described as FAIL, but thank you for trying.

Bryce L. said...

Hahaha, I thought for sure I was gonna win. I used the word steed and I thought for sure that was a winning word.

Harry Markov said...

Yeah, steed is an award winner, but your rhythm sucked... What have you done to that poor misshapen sentence?
