A couple of days ago my mother called me on the phone to inform me that one of my articles was going to be in a book. What? How is this possible? It turns out that somebody at my church is publishing a sports book. They were online one day researching archery and just happened to come across my article on the 10 Greatest Archers. They were like, “Hey! I know that guy!” What a small world we live in that somebody could be writing a book, go on Google to do research and find an article from somebody that happens to go to the same church.
It’s a good thing my Mom told me about the book though because originally the author was going to copy the article for his book. Unfortunately Associated Content has exclusive rights, not me, and they could sue him if they found out he copied the article for his book. But since I caught this before the book was published I gladly rewrote the article so he could use it.
If you want to read the descriptions for each person you can read the article above (although they will be different in the book). I did actually change the rankings in the book too. Here are my original rankings and the new updated rankings.
Original: 1. Robin Hood 2. Link 3. Sorsha 4. Green Arrow 5. Hawkeye 6. Legolas 7. Susan Pevensie 8. Rambo 9. Gizmo 10. Chewbacca
Updated: 1. Robin Hood 2. Link 3. Green Arrow 4. Hawkeye 5. Legolas 6. Sorsha 7. Susan Pevensie 8. Rambo 9. Chewbacca 10. Gizmo
That’s very cool! Who’s righting the book? Are you getting any money? And I’d completely forgotten about Gizmo being an archer.

Lyn Scarbrough is writing the book. No, I’m not getting paid for it.

“Who’s righting the book?” Geez, clearly it shouldn’t be me. And that’s still very cool!
