Do tell, what's "Contract in 12"?
Uh oh! Dead meat here. Guess I forgot to mention tagging you - oops! But I enjoyed your answers.
Contract in 12 is something Lefty and Dancing Deb and I came up with during National. Do all we can, full out, to earn a book contract in twelve months, lest we fall victim to the "Cathay House Curse" (we made up the contract in the restaurant). You can check out links to their blogs in my sidebar.
