Welcome back to Ask Mr. Writing Person, where the weather is a puppet and the characters are vexed! Joining us today is Bruce Boondocks, from Bitter End, Tennessee. He's a long-time fan of mine [Ed: two days, is it?], and just as excited as can be to participate. Isn't that right, Bruce?

Q. Oh, yeah. I'm so plum excited, I'm gonna wet myself.

I'll do my darndest to keep to weekly articles (Fridays) with shorter follow-ups in the middle. (It shouldn't be too hard, for a while at least, because I've been doing better than that and I have two full-length articles ready to go.)

I'd love to hear any ideas for topics as well. And if you find it funny, please chain-mail all your friends with the following:
