Ambitious or Insane?

I just signed up for Nanowrimo.  That's 50, 000 words from November 1st to November 30th.  OTHERS must be finished.
It's gonna be a challenge, but I intend to eat, sleep, and breathe OTHERS come November 1st.  The plan of attack during the week will be to jet right after work to a bookstore/coffeehouse and write for several hours each day.  It will be easier to carve out time over the weekends.
I'm gonna do some heavy outlining over the next couple of days so I can jump in right away.
When the gates open, I'll be ready.

What a ride!

Ghostwalk was awesome.  Tons of people attended and tours were selling out hours in advance.  Got to go on a two walks.  It was cool to see our stories come to life.  Everyone had a blast and it was great to be a part of it.  Went on the last tour of the Mission Inn catacombs, where my story NEPOTISM was performed.  The actors did a great job and everyone seemed creeped out.   So cool.

Countdown to Ghostwalk

The final week of Ghostwalk preparation is hectic I tell ya!  Rewrites, production details such as lighting and sound effects, telephone calls with actors regarding story background and details, meetings with venue owners and management regarding set up.  It's a blast, but there aren't enough hours in the day.  It will be Friday in a flash and then the show's on.  I can hardly wait for the feedback.

Ghostwalk Update: Nepotism Makes Three

Ghostwalk update!

The Mission Inn has allowed Ghostwalk Riverside to use the Catacombs beneath the Inn for Ghostwalk, and I've been commissioned to pen the story!  They wanted a vampire theme for this one, so I wrote a gruesome little tale entitled NEPOTISM.  It's good fun and should scare the dickens out of them.

I'm really looking forward to this event. It's pretty thrilling to know that 5,000 people are going to hear my work.  I can hardly wait to get the feedback first hand as I check out Ghostwalk and hear all of my fellow writers' chilling tales as well.

If you're free October 22nd or 23rd, stop by Riverside for a night of fun-filled fright!
