This week is “date week” at The Master’s Artist. Each day all the blog contributors answer a new question, and everyone else is encouraged to enter the conversation by answering the same question in the comments.

Today I posted at The Master’s Artist about the Doodling Gene and shared a little family case history you may find, um . . . well, let’s just go with “interesting.” You can read that post HERE, if you feel so inclined. Also, if you feel so inclined, you can give me a three-book contract
