Last night we also discussed how many books we've read that were absolutely awful, and I decided (long ago, actually) that anything I write has to be better than Romancing the Nephites, and at least as good as The Scandalous Miss Delaney and A Lady in Disguise -- preferrably much better.
As we talked last night, I tried to describe Romancing the Nephites to Margo, and I made it on the prestigious Quote Board! My awesomeness is now no longer a matter of opinion -- it is a fact, corroborated by a large piece of cardboard covered with the most exclusive collection of quotes. Here's how I made it: "He kept using, like, pseudo-Hebraic pick-up lines!"
The last quote was from the song "Ruby Blue" by Roisin Murphy -- thanks, Erin, for introducing me!
"I'm not talking nonsense, lass. I'd give you the whole of the moon if I could, and throw in the stars for good measure. You couldn't be content with less?" --42 points

Oh my goodness, I read Romancing the Nephites! It was such a terrible book. I didn't even realize it at the time because I was really young, but when we were older my sister threw in the trash twice (mom fished it out the first time).
And yeah, 2,000 words in one sitting is HARD. I only made it to 600 last night before I started sticking in stuff I'd already written, so I don't have high hopes for making the finish line. Still gonna try, though.
