Because Jack Asked For It

Jack had a great suggestion in his comment to the previous post. And since I'm so tired tonight that I'm punchy and my writing is verging on the melodramatic, I thought it'd be fun.

So... remember Mad Libs? (I'm dating myself probably.) The idea is this: I've taken the opening scene from As in Days of Old, and have removed key words and phrases. I'm now asking you - the blogging public - to fill in the blanks, so to speak, and we'll see what happens. I'll post the "modified" opening scenes with each blogger's suggestions in a future post. I can post the "original" too, if you want.

Clarification: I'm asking each reader to supply all 20 of the below-listed words/phrases. If three people participate, I'll post three separate and distinct modified opening scenes.

Here we go. I need, in the following order:

1. A name, first and last
2. noun, plural
3. noun, singular
4. city name (any city, any size)
5. architectural style of house
6. body part, plural (keep it clean, folks!)
7. month name
8. weather condition (temperature, precipitation or lack thereof, etc.)
9. room in a house
10. piece of furniture
11. noun, plural
12. noun, plural
13. noun, plural
14. noun, singular
15. verb, past tense
16. verb, past tense
17. noun, plural
18. adverb
19. noun, singular
20. room in a house

Please leave your suggestions in the comments. This should be fun and I look forward to your entries!

And stay tuned, because I'm hoping y'alls will help me out later this year with choosing a cover design and some other neat stuff. I may be asking for help naming a character, or I may have a contest to have a character named after you (the name of your choosing), with a free book as thanks once it's published.
