Halloween:Â? Well… I gave two pumpkins a lobotomy and carved up their shells into cat-o-lanterns.Â? It was about 4F last night which means that we had almost no trick-or-treaters.Â? Those who came were cute.Â? :)Â? I ran into two of my church kids and their dad down at the co-op this afternoon and told them that they needed to come up and get their candy!Â? (I was sad not to see them last night because I’m fond of these guys.)
Nanowrimo:Â? I’m doing it this year.Â? I have about 3400 words as I type this entry and it’s the first day.Â? W00t!
My piece is a murder mystery called “Minnesota Ice” and I’m killing off people I don’t like in it (not by their real names of course) as well as those of my freakish online friends who have asked to die as well.Â? (You know who you are.)Â? And no, I’m not taking requests to kill anyone else off.Â? I already have about 10 people who I need to kill creatively.Â? :)Â? *waves to the nice NSA people who are probably going to shut down this site*
As for who gets a copy at the end of the month, I’m gonna do it this way.Â? Email me if you want a manuscript and if I know you/trust you/do not live within a 40 mile radius of you, I’ll send you a link to my whatgoesaround.org givelist.Â? Make a donation to a charity on that list (I don’t care how much, just give something), send me your confirmation of that (leave off credit card numbers and all that), and I’ll email you a *.zip file of the story.Â? My reasons for this: I get to control who sees the story and some people in need get helped in the process.
Any questions?
