Cece Redmond and I put together the directions and clues for the Haunted Scavenger Hunt held Saturday October 16th. The logistics were horrendous. Cece figured all of that out. Then she took directions and I did the clues. What a nightmare as we worked late at night and then up early the next morning. Both of us were exhausted by the time the event was over.
It was a success and the teams had fun going out to find some ghosts. One guy came in with his camera showing a strange light on the left and then his camera quit working. He had witnesses that it did that. His name was drawn by Brian of TAPS to go with them on a Ghost hunt. It was fate.
Everyone got something. We had door prizes and plastic pumpkins filled with party favors.
This past Monday Cece and I got together to go over the writing for the grand prize of $200 to go toward a writing class. To have written so fast because it was a race against time, we had some astounding work! Our guild definitely has talent in it.
I'm working on my short stories for an anthology of my stories and essays. In the meantime, I went to see Secretariat and was inspired to write a YA/adult horse anthology of true stories. I've been a horse nut since birth and have quite a few unique horse tales to tell.
Let me get back to my story I'm working on, "I Can't Stand Her Anymore." This was very cathartic for me to climb up inside Joe's head and write his side of the story. Lee no longer felt like it was his fault the marriage fell a part. She could vividly see her role in its demise. I hope to do more blogging on a regular basis. I finally got my office organized, which translates into my life being more organized.
I'm reading Stephen King's book on writing and we are spot on in writing styles. (spontaneous without outlines and plotting) He says take a relic, create some characters, and a story will unfold. Tis true!
