Sunday Stealing

Write from Karen

 

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing which originated on the WTIT Blog with Bud Weiser. 

Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the blogosphere. 

Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and 

intelligent questions. You may have heard the expression, “honor among thieves”. 

In that age-old tradition, we try to credit the blog that we stole it from, if possible. 

We also provide a link to the victim's questions in our "Previous Victims" widget. 

(It's our way of saying "Thanks!") Sometimes we edit the original meme, to make

 it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, to select the best

 questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from recently asked questions from

 a previously post. Cheers to all of us thieves!

 These questions from Karen at Write from Karen.  

Karen is married and mom of two grown sons.  She says,

 "I believe in Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Writing Well.

 (I also believe in our Constitution – Don’t Tread on 

my Rights, Yo)"
