Hi friends. I'm just setting up to do this crazy thing called a Scrawl-A-Thon. Basically 6 hours of straight writing in a room full of other writers (who will probably become more and more intoxicated as the night wears on). Me, I rarely drink. I probably won't tonight - so we'll see where that gets me.
The BIG plan is that I post whatever I am writing every half hour - here. So keep coming back. The smaller plan is that I'm going to start writing a new novel titled Amalgamation. It's about Alex, a messed up kid who, just as he gets tossed into a dwarf crocodile tank at the zoo by the people he's annoyed, get's hit with a meteor and amalgamated with the dwarf crocodile. And he's not the only one who gets hit. Then the military gets involved. And there's a grey room. And a cute little klepto girl/mountain goat. Anyway, it's a cool sci-fi/spec fic story I think you'll enjoy. . . in it's first draft . . . gulp!
More details: Throughout the night I will be getting writing prompts. Just to make things interesting I'm going to try to incorporate each of these writing prompts into my novel. Crazy, eh? But I like the challenge. Also, if you want to post suggestions for the novel below in the comments. I will do my best to get those in too.
I'd like to give a big shout out to all the people who have helped me with pledges for this thing. All the money goes to WordsWorth youth writing residency. A very cool camp that I've proudly been a part of for five years now. So thanks to Bruce and Donna Wakeford, Ami Persaud, Dïva Berry, Kate Train, Kim Musselwhite, Bob Firmston, Bunny Firmston, Jean Ann Steiner, Shelagh Lennon, Barbara Zimmerman, Lelainna M Dahl, Tony Carter, Shirley Jones, Kirsten Ireland, Sebastien Ringuette, and Joey Sayer. I would be no where without you guys and your support!
And one more thing - the story will only be up for today and tomorrow. After that it's gone. So read now, or you'll have to wait until I can find a publisher for it.
Take care and see you again around 4:30 tonight.
