Lilith’s Brood is a collection of three Octavia Butler (one of my favorite authors) books. Dawn is the beginning of Lilith’s story set after the last war on Earth, when the only survivors are alien captives. I loved the writing as usual, but I really disliked this story. Why?

So yesterday I found out you are supposed to start a new project for http://www.nanowrimo.org/National Novel Writing Month (an event where writers all over commit to writing 50,000 words in the month of November). I WAS planning on working on my modern day zombie, but I’m about 5,000 words into it. Hmmm…. I guess I need to pick another story idea to work on. Maybe my science fiction vampire (yes, I’m weird that way). If I write 2,000 words per day, I can take five days off. But 50,000 words does not a novel make. I’m considering writing 4,000 a day. Considering but not promising.

Halloween was fun.

For your entertainment, I’ve decided to give you a Halloween treat that will scare the pants off you!!! Just kidding. But hopefully, like me, it will have you laughing so hard, you’ll cry.
