Thursday Thirteen: Bad Hero, Bad!

ByKristen Koster

 

13 Things A Hero Should Never Say…

…when the heroine has just impulsively confessed her love and blurted out those three little words…

1. “No, no, no. This was just supposed to be about the sex!”
2. “Me too! I am great, aren’t I?”
3. “Why does every girl I kiss say that?”
4. “Huh? We’ve only been living together for, what? Ten years?”
5. “Me or how I make you feel, baby?”
6. “My wife’s not gonna like this.”
7. “What? Do I know you?”
8. “Why? I killed your kittens, stabbed your brother, ruined your sister, and have kidnapped you and have been holding you hostage for a week. Women!”
9. “Mmmmm…. I love you too, Monique. It was Monique, right?”
10. “Hold still, you’ve got something in your teeth.”
11. “What? Come out of there so I can understand what you’re saying.”
12. *belch* Pass me another cold one, babe. Dammit! Interception!”
13. Zzzzzzzzzz!

Thursday Thirteen: Candy Loot!

ByKristen Koster

At our house, Halloween Candy lasts until Valentine’s Day. I may have actually forgotten to throw out last year’s loot. While it’s bundled into Ziploc bags with the kids’ names on them, I can resist the temptation. It’s that whole out of sight, out of mind thing too. We only had two bunches of trick-or-treaters…

On the Romance Divas‘ forum, one of the gals, Jasmine Rowe, has been sharing some of what she calls on her blog, Jasmine’s Grotto, “Opinions, Advice and Writing Wisdom Pearls”.

  1. LMAO!!!!!!!!!! Those were great. I wish I’d thought of them. It would be a challenge to write a hero that DID say something stupid like that….and still have the happy ending.

  3. AHAHA number 2 is my favorite. We’re often joking about that at home “love you” “me too” “yes, you do love you”

    Teehee!

    Happy TT, glad to see another aspiring writer out here 🙂

  17. Sorry I’m so late!!! LOL, loved 2 and 6 and 12.
    Yep, you’re doing everything right. 😉
