Also Carnival Farm&#8217;s audio book might be out in December. And also on December 11, I will be at the author expo in Pawtuxet\/Cranston, RI. It&#8217;s a dialysis day, so I&#8217;m probably going to be a wreck. I have to find a dress I can wear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking of dresses, I went through my clothes and donated the ones that don&#8217;t fit anymore, or that I&#8217;ve had for &#8220;work&#8221; and haven&#8217;t worn for the last three years. I discovered some clothes that were my favorites, but I was ruthless and tossed them in the bag to go to the Goodwill. I brought them down before I could change my mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I will have a special NaNoWriMo website set up which will have my work. I could, if I wanted to, submit this to The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.storytellersvault.com\/\">Storyteller&#8217;s <\/a>Vault which allows fan-fiction of Vampire, Werewolf, and any of the other RPG&#8217;s. You need to pay for the license to get paid, though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ll stick to offering it for free, raw and unedited, all 50,000 words or so. Trust me, it&#8217;ll be bad.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m waiting for the gunshot on October 31 at midnight so I can start writing.
