Just a [very] short piece I wrote, called Cell Block Full O'Blues. It's my first attempt at Blues Brothers fiction.

Please read and review! Thanks!

Happy New Year!

Yeah, that was great! Really! Don´t know why, but it made me feel like crying... Sorry, that´s no offense, I guess you made me feel a lot... Good Job Jo!

Aw, shucks. Didn't mean to make you cry...

:)

But I am glad you liked it.

There is a good amount of fun Blues Brothers fiction up on Fanfiction.net. I haven't read a lot yet, but it looks good! Very exciting!

Don´t worry sweetie, I cry all the time, and it a good thing, it means you´ve found a way to reach people (can´t remember wether I wrote that already or not). That´s so important for writers, at least for me as a writer, to transmit something, anything. It means you´re on track!

A very good little story, true to the characters. I especially liked Jake hearing Elwood put the harmonica down -- the sort of sensory detail that puts the reader right inside the story.

Hey, thanks... I really do need to write more BB stuff. Alas, it's so hard to find the time.

Who needs work.
To heck with work.
I'm giving up work.
