Put On Your Thinking Cap

I wrote over 3,000 words today on my WIP.  This is a really good number for me since I'm one of those obsessive writers who can't resist going back and editing as I write.  I know I shouldn't.  A friend once told me by the time I write THE END, I'm probably on my twentieth draft - as least on the first half of the book.

Today's 3,000 words also put me over the 21,000 word mark for my 30,000 words in February challenge.  If you do the math, you'll see I've fallen a bit behind...which explains the 3,000 words today.  I get a little obsessive about challenges, too.  Once I commit, I can't stand coming up short.

I'm telling you all this as my excuse for not having any bright ideas for my blog post today.  I was hoping for a little flash of brilliance but it's just not happening.  So I'll let you have a flash of brilliance instead.  I offer these four brainteasers.  Put on your thinking caps and see if you can figure them out.

I'll give you the answers in Friday's post.  (How's that for trying to get you to come back.)

I do want to take a moment and thank everyone for their prayers and good wishes for the young friend I posted about on Monday.  She's still holding on but it's day to day so, if you would, please keep her in your prayers. 

My current word count: 21,327

Groaner of the day: I don't want to overtax anyone's brains today, so here's a short one...  What did the grape say when it got stepped on? Nothing - but it let out a little whine.
