Finalist in Strong Scenes Contest

I am a finalist in the Strong Scenes Contest for September 2010.

I'm hoping everyone will go there, read the 3 short scenes, and vote for the best.

It's mine, of course, but it's a free nation. You're allowed to have bad taste. The rest of us get to make fun of you though.

It's in the bylaws.

My scene is a snippet from a short story I wrote entitled, "Bobby Joker," and is about a professional poker player named Bobby Joker.

I plan on expanding it into a novel, probably after the novel I'm currently working on. Then I plan on a full-length feature film to be released by Miramax starring Matt Damon. (If anyone knows Matt's current phone number, please forward it to me ... it's changed again)
