Did you know that the phrase “I’ll scratch your back if you scratch mine” was not originally a friendly offer to alleviate an unreachable itch. In fact, it originated on the slave ships in the 17th/18th centuries, when punishment for crew was doled out by their shipmates. If you were going to be whipped, you told your mate to go easy, lest the tables be turned in the future. It’s more threat than friendly, you see.

read my blog, I’m full of it on a daily basis. LOL. Good advice that is. All from Norwecon writing panels this year.
What’s a norwecon
Norwescon, Sci Fi Fantasy Reader/Writers Convention.
I didn’t know you were into that. Well it makes sense since you read my tripe. I thought you were just interested because of the history angle.
LOL. I’m not into that. But they have a really quality series on writing in general and indie publishing.
