Can You Guess This Writer Riddle?
February 2, 2011
Went to school, then took the bar.
Wrote a book some thought not par.
Peddled it from the trunk of my car.
Watched the movie with Jackson as star.
Had such fun, I wrote one more.
Again and again. Times twenty-four.

John Grisham?
I thought this one was too easy. What do you think?
I’m not sure if it was too easy, I’m just a little bit of a nerd.
If you’re a nerd for guessing it, what does that make me?
I can’t tell a lie…I had to click “HERE” to find the answer to the riddle!
So did 12 other people.
Fun. I thought of Grishman’s books, but my brain said “Patterson.” Can I still win?
Renee, you’re always a winner!
Liked that a lot. Thx 4 following on Twitter

Thanks, Mike. So glad you stopped by!
I’m guessing Grisham, but I don’t get the “Jackson” movie line. The lawyer and selling from the trunk was enough to peg it.
Fun!
Samuel L. Jackson starred in “A Time to Kill.” Thanks for stopping by, Regina. It’s good to meet you!
Loved the riddle….I knew the bar meant law school but I still didn’t guess John Grisham.
I just found your blog. Am thrilled that I knew the answer, not that it proves anything. But also like your list of what makes a writer. I’ll hang in there because it’s all I want to do anyway. It’s the process, not the results that count (I say with a lump in my throat). thanks again.
What a cool riddle! Was John Grisham the answer? Love his books!
You got it. I love his books and movies, too.
Thanks for stopping by, Gwendolyn. Good to meet you.
John Grisham!
Yes! Thanks for commenting.
cute riddle. I only knew the answer because of a fact I had somehow remembered!
Cool! I’m glad you were able to figure it out.
Very clever. I’m curious how long it took you to create it! Oh, and A Time to Kill is an amazing movie. It’s a little hard to watch some of the scenes (I have to close my eyes), but it’s phenomenal.
Thanks, Heather. I usually read some trivia about the author, then stew on it a few days. By the time I’m ready to write, the riddle is mostly already written in my head. But I always give it a day, then proofread. It amazes me how different things sound a day later.
Maybe less words? The Sphinx’s riddle was “What walks on four legs, then two legs, then three legs, then none?”
Samson’s was, “Out of the eater, something to eat. Out of the strong, something sweet.”
Less words = more con fuddling.
But I liked it regardless. Twas fun.
I see what you mean, Lance. Shorter would definitely be more con fuddling. It’s funny though. Some of my longer riddles seem to be harder while some of the short ones are guessed by more readers. I think it may have more to do with the authors I’ve chosen. And my blog audience. In other words, you either know it or you don’t.
Fun writing, either way.
Thanks for stopping by!
