Someone tell them this is called humor
Someone Copied My Bot Story
Just to win a writing contest
Here’s my story.
Here’s the story that Andrew Rodwin, Emoji Trapper wrote.
Do you see what he did there?
What is the Sound of One Bot Clapping? vs What is the Sound of One Hand Clapping?
Yes, I realize that this is a Zen Koan used by Zen Masters to challenge seekers to dive deep for answers to questions about the meaning of life.
But, still. What are the odds that he would use this phrase too?
And this is not the worst of it.
Andrew Rodwin, Emoji Trapper is one of the funniest writers I have ever read.
He and I are both finalists in a writing contest for Susan Brearley’s MuddyUm Publication. We are Pirates! We are competing for big prizes and fame!
I think. I didn’t really read the fine print.
In fact, here’s my entry into the contest.
I was feeling pretty confident about winning the contest when I saw that Andrew Rodwin, Emoji Trapper slipped in a late entry and after the names of the judges had been announced!!! And guess what he did next? Yup! He proceeded to butter up the judges by dropping a lot of names!
Well, guess what? Baskerville Old Face — one of my favorite writers on the planet — read my story too and he commented on it. He said, “Freekin’ perv!”
Okay, so out of context it sounds a bit weird, but I assure you it was a compliment!
What, oh, he’s a judge for the contest? Hmmm… I hadn’t noticed. ;))))
And then, Andrew drops the name of the editor, Susan Brearley, who is a hardworking, brilliant, creative, founder of the Good Ship Muddyums. I love her dedication and support and innovative ideas to promote writers. She’s the best!
Oh, she’s a judge too? Well, that’s an interesting coincidence, isn’t it? ;))))
Pièce de ré·sis·tance
And then for his final pièce de résistance Andrew Rodwin, Emoji Trapper mentions that he has just finished editing one of Hogan Torah’s stories. Yeah. Guess what? I almost won a prize from him. Yup. Ask Susan Brearley.
And, finally, Andrew Rodwin, Emoji Trapper is that really your hand? Asking for a friend. ;)))))
If you, dear reader, want to let me know how you feel about pirates pirating from each other, leave something in the comments below. Thanks!
BTW… You’ve already missed the deadline for this contest unless you are Andrew Rodwin, Emoji Trapper. But, there’s another contest coming up.
The prompts are PABLUM, HEMORRHOIDS, GALLIVANTING, and SWIVEL. I know, it’s a classy pirate ship here.
If by some miracle you have read this far, then this might be your thing.
Here’s the link to the next big contest for December.
And here’s the link if you want to join the hijinks and happiness!
