The Quiz!

Good Morning once again,
Today is rather like last week, only it is rainy instead of snow and ice. It is supposed to snow and sleet, but it hasn't yet. I haven't gotten a lot of writing done this week as for some reason I couldn't seem to get my brain to work right. Hopefully I have it fixed now.:)

I hope you are all ready for this quiz. It isn't very long, but we'll see how much you know.:) Leave you answers in the comments before next Friday. Next week I'll give you the right answers and let you know who the winner is. And just to add some fun to it, the winner will get to decide what they would like posted the following two weeks. They can choose anything from:

Poems
Short stories w/no pictures
Short stories with a picture
Meleah's Western
Something I had written when I was very young

So, if you would like to decide what you want to read, give the quiz a try. And yes, the winner could pick two weeks of the same thing.:)

Now get ready, get set, Go!
