Jamie M.

CONGRATULATIONS!

I’ll be getting both boxes in the mail sometime this week. I will also be dropping you both emails tomorrow with details about when I’m shipping them out. I hope you enjoy the boxes!

Happy Halloween to the rest of you! It has been a fun month and aside from my one glitch, I really enjoyed posting all the time. I have one post I did not manage to make before the end of the holiday so I will be doing that later next month.

Speaking of next month, at midnight tonight the world kicks off NaNoWriMo – that is National Novel Writing Month and it is a pretty big month for the writing blogosphere. I still intend to post regularly, but I may drop to 3 times a week (mon-wed-fri) instead of 5 days a week. We’ll see. I hadn’t planned to join NaNo this year, but at the last minute I decided what I could really use is a jump start to the creativity center of my brain which has shriveled up a little from editing. I’m going to write a separate story in the same universe as the novel I’m writing and I’m hoping that’ll get me revved up come December to jump back into the main novel.

Who else is doing NaNo this year? Please let me know! My name over there is: tellgreatstories and you’re absolutely welcome to buddy me. I’ll be doing a lot more cheerleading for everyone else than writing, I think, and that’s ok with me. I want to help everyone succeed!

Being that it is the last day of October and Halloween is finally upon us, I have only a couple more things to point you to for the horror lover in us all. First, a t-shirt to tickle the nerd in all of us:

YES. ZOMBIE SCHRODINGER’S CAT FOR THE WIN. You can purchase your very own over at SplitReason for $18.95. I’m wringing my hands over it but I think I’m going to get one.

Unshelved is a comic I love and wholly support, and they posted a preview of the first 3 issues of a new comic called Rotten. Zombies in the Wild West which reminds me of Deadlands the roleplaying game and that’s cool enough for me. I have read the first 2 previews and it looks pretty good. I love me some comics so I’ll be checking them out. It was very nice of the creators to give us a preview. You never see comics being that cool. (Also the post with the preview PDF links have other reviews of zombie books if you’re interested.)
