Sticky Situations
Sticky Situations
Word-For-Word Scripts You Can Use To Get Out Of Almost Any Situation
About the Book
This is a book in progress! Every time I get a new sticky puzzle from a friend, I copy out my answer and add it to this book. When I have the first 10 different situations, I'll publish the first draft of the book and you can read it and let me know what you think. I'll keep adding new scripts each time I solve a puzzle for a friend, and you get to read every new version as it comes out. I'll send you a note when I get new ones and you get every copy of this book as it gets published, in real time, while I make it.
