In case you missed it, I finally completed my epic dare from Shannon to bring Webcam to Writers to life. You guys saw! You know I need to dare her back in the most epic way possible.
But two things make daring Shannon a little hard to do.
1) She won't vlog until she's agented. Which means I have to be a little more creative with what I can make her do.
2) She sent me this package mere hours before I was set to counter-dare her.
I have to admit, I sort of squeeed...ok I totally SQUEEED when I saw this! And may have jumped up and down....just a little. I mean its this amazing picture Shannon did of Orlando Freaking Bloom who I love (don't judge!). And then she went and secretly got me a copy of Hush, Hush, signed! With a little message in there for me from Becca!!!!!! And...there's my Dinosaur book, signed by super agent and author Laura Rennert, that I won in her contest.
Of course then I started thinking all these warm fuzzy thoughts, like make love, not war....fluffy bunnies...shoes...Shannon really is an amazing CP....vegan chocolate....and Shannon's so much fun to talk to and blondes really are nice people and I just want to jump up and down and say THANK YOU!
But then I thought about my commercial again and the way she tortured me with only one clue for weeks: bring sexy back.
And then there was the fact that she was going to forcibly sign me up for THIS if I didn't sign myself up.
And all fuzzy feelings faded away...
I don't accept bribes! This is BLOG WARS!
So Shannon....you might not vlog....but you can still Bring. Sexy. Back.
Your next dare is ready to be issued.
Here we go. One of Shannon's most popular features on her blog are her USC Lessons, where she teaches you important things she learned in film school to make your plots pop, smoke, and sizzle. And one of her more memorable lessons was on....
SEDUCTION
Yes, that's right. Any ideas where I'm going with this yet?
You see...people learn in all different kinds of styles. Some are auditory, some are visual....and just because we're writers, doesn't mean we should have to just plainly read and understand everything we're taught. Sometimes we need to see and hear things, and be shown examples for a lesson to really sink in.
I dare you, Shannon, to bring your Seduction Lesson to Life! Really help us understand the concept in an informational video. Create scenes, use movie clips, show pictures, explain the concept to us! Make sure we understand seduction. Seduce us with your video lesson. So afterwards, we'll all be masters.
Dare Issued.
*Grabs popcorn and hides*
Oh, methinks Shannon is going to freak out about this one. Poor Shannon. Her bribing didn't work.
ReplyDeleteAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOMG-I think I just died!
HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO DO THAT???????????????
(And WHAT is up with everyone trying to make me be sexy. SERIOUSLY, are you and Simon in on this because I will NOT let you corrupt me!)
BLOG WAAAAAAAAAAAARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh dear god...how LONG will this war go on?!
ReplyDeleteAlso: HUSH HUSH FTW! xD (And I used to have SUCH a crush on Bloom...but honestly, I couldn't get past this one pic I saw of him that made him look like a girl. *shrug* I have not felt his loss.--I make up for it by obsessing over Jensen Ackles. *giggles*)
Hott.
ReplyDeleteOoh, it's really on now, isn't it?! And, um, sweet Patrick, remind me to never get into a blog war with you. I mean, that bribe would have melted my heart. MELTED it.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see poor Shannon's response!
Um, okay, obviously, like 6 people slipped in while I was commenting. Never mind the part about Shannon's response.
ReplyDelete*grabs some popcorn*
Heather, LOL, no it didn't work! I can't let a couple of signed books of awesome and pictures of heart throbs get in the way of my revenge!
ReplyDeleteShannon, LOL muahahahah, good luck with this one! Also Simon has nothing to do with this, unless he's been feeding me secret brain hypnotizing messages over twitter...
Mireyah, the war will NEVER END!!!!
Livia, thanks! I agree!
ReplyDeleteSarah, LOL just sit back with the popcorn, this is going to be epic!!!!
Ah ahaha I can't wait!!
ReplyDelete*peeks from behind the curtain in awe*
ReplyDelete*gasps*
*slips back into hiding*
Ha! I love how I've gone from being an amused, slightly instigating bystander, to a full-on scapegoat... :)
ReplyDeleteLet me just state for the record, however, that I had nothing to do with feeding Frankie secret subliminal messages over Twitter these past few weeks. Nope. Nothing. Nothing at all to do with the third word of every seventh tweet. Nope. Uh-uh.
I'll stop now, though. I'd hate to be responsible for the corruption of such an innocent, pure soul as yourself, Shannon. *cough* *cough* *coughity-cough-cough*
:)
P.S.: Word Ver.=yessest. Def.=The superlative of "yes."
Ex. At first, I was all, like, no way, about this blogwar thingy, but now I'm thinking it's, like, the yessest...
Ha! I can't wait!!!! This is going to be so funny!! But, on my goodness. Orlando Bloom- love him. Did she really draw him? Thats awesome.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha! I was going to say something about how I'm glad I'm not involved-- but then I was worried it would be taken as some kind of challenge. IT IS NOT!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are hilarious! Keep it up!
I just popped over from Shannon's blog - you guys are fun, although I'd have to admit to a little fear if I were to be honest... :)
ReplyDeleteI'm feeling very giddy about this. Also, Orlando Bloom and Hush, Hush? So jealous!
ReplyDeleteYou two are crazy.
ReplyDeleteShe drew that pic? Amazing! He's such a hottie.
Good luck to you both in your raging war. ;)
Kat, me neither!
ReplyDeleteTricia, LOL don't worry you're safe:-)
Simon, of course your not brainwashing me on twi----Simon is the best writer in the world....Simon is the best Simon in the world....-tter, I mean why would you...everyone should send whiskey to Simon...brainwash me because....lots and lots of whiskey....what was I saying?
Kelly, yeah isn't she awesome?
Amalia, haha are you sure????
Jemi, hehehe thanks for stopping by, no need to fear...much.
Mariah and Karen, I know I love him!!
Oh boy! Can't wait to see that! And how awesome was that package she sent you! Did she draw that pic of him? OMG that's fabulous! Will be patiently waiting for this to commence ;o)
ReplyDeleteWord Verification: Spork - yeah, spork, how cool is that?
LMAO. I cant decide is Shannon can pull this off or not...
ReplyDeleteI've got an award for you over at my blog!
ReplyDeleteHa haaaaaaaaa!! All I can say is, I'm glad this war is between you and Shannon, and the rest of us get to sit back and watch!
ReplyDeleteWebcams scare me to death, but you may have inspired me to WHIP on out and share the funny.
ReplyDeleteJonathon- Webcam would also allow you to play ChatRoulette!
ReplyDeleteFunny stuff!
Blog wars are wonderful things. I totally agree that we have to appeal to more than one sense as writers...
ReplyDeleteOkay, squee! How awesome is THAT care package!
ReplyDeleteI feel grateful that I'm not Shannon right now, LOL. I would grumble under these blog dares...
