Did I Really Write That? http://www.nanowrimo.org/en/forums/canada-nova-scotia-elsewhere/threads/31142 little1liz We all know this month is about quantity not quality. But if you are anything like me it is hard to silence the inner editor even if you are nano mantra of "I can fix that in December" you are noticing the poor prose. Which is the theme of this thread: What is your funniest bad line? What is your cheesiest cliche? Or how about your punniest pun? We are here to commiserate or celebrate our worst lines of 2011.
