*****Congratulations to Roxie. I read all the hook entries to a room full of Thanksgiving pre-guests without showing them the picture. Many of the entries had votes and brought a lot of comments. Roxie’s hook had the most people wanting to keep reading and find out what happens next.
True, the results might have been different if I’d shown the picture, but like a book, I wanted the listeners to be influenced only by the words.
Thanks to everyone for playing, we’ll have more contests. So stay tuned.

I enjoyed going there each day to see what would happen, and reveled in the license I had as a writer to say and do what I wanted! (Sometimes a character told me different.
