Being an avid reader of beancounters, I ended up being tagged for the 1-2-3 meme today. Yes, I take things way toooo literally. Maybe some anonymous reader of my blog will continue the meme.

Here are the meme rules:
1. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages).
2. Open the book to page 123.
3. Find the fifth sentence.
4. Post the next three sentences.
5. Tag five people & post a comment here once you post it to your blog, so I can come see.

"Observe the pattern--the lines of type, the margins, and most particularly the blocks of white space where paragraphs begin or leave off.

You can tell without even reading if the book you've chosen is apt to be easy or hard, right? Easy books contains lots of short paragraphs--including dialogue and lots of white space. "

This was from Stephen King's On Writing. Interesting enough, the passage was about opening up any book on your bookshelf to any page. :-) Ironic.

Your turn, Remcat, Pristol (gotta write something on that blog of yours), Ben (you too!), Charmaine, JJones. Not sure how regularly anyone reads my blog. So I wonder how many of these people will actually continue the meme. So any anonymous readers that I don't know about, feel free to continue the meme and leave a comment to let me know.
