Writers’ bait
I promised to tell you what we used for writers’ bait. Although Jackie’s guesses were good, she didn’t come close.
Writers’ bait has been a running joke with a few of us for a couple of years. It started one year when we were sitting in another hotel lobby. I put something on the table in front of us. It wasn’t long before more and more people joined us. It seems I found a weakness.
What is it that few people can resist? What was in almost every basket at the Chinese auction?
Throughout the weekend, six bags of Dove Dark Chocolate and three bags of Hershey Dark Bliss candy disappeared. Not only did the night shift hotel staff enjoy the nightly treats I handed out, but all the writers who sat with us did too.
There’s magic in chocolate, my dears.

Now tell them the other two baits writers can’t resist.
That’d be snack food and booze.
Poo, that ain’t writer’s bait, that’s a chocoholic’s bait. Although this chocoholic prefers milk chocolate over dark.
For me the darker the better. I think I won the only baskets that didn’t have chocolate in them.
Snack foods, chocolate and booze…..tha’s MY kind of meal (hic), LOL J/k as far as the booze is concerned, MW would know what I’m talking about…
My weaknesses are dark chocolate, snacks, and COFFEE!
