I feel like Columbo with that title up there.  But without the crumpled overcoat, obviously.  Or the skelly eyes.

Anyway, the point of the post is that I got the proof through of my Wow! 366 story from Scholastic today.  Everything seemed okay, aside from a glaring error in the spelling of my name, which I’m assured will be corrected.

It appears that my story is going to be number 364 of 366.  I’d convinced myself this is because they were following the age old “save the best for last” guideline, until I noticed who wrote story number 365.  Who else could it be, but Tom from McFly?  Me and Tom, Tom and Me, snuggled side by side between the sheets.  Of paper.

I only have half of Tom’s story on my proof, so it would be unfair to criticise it.  I’m reasonably confident he’ll be sticking to music, though.  Everyone has at least one great talent, and until such times as he discovers his, music’s as good a time filler as any.

Tom, if you’re reading this, I’m just kidding.  No offence intended.  I love your story.  The way it exactly mirrors the tale of the boy who cried wolf is ingenious.  Taking an all time classic story and changing every instance of just one word is something which would have never occurred to me.  Good for you!
