Todash did a bad, bad thing.

[Todash]

I posted about this elsewhere, but several months ago, a writer friend asked me to contribute a short story to a zombie anthology he was working on. I did it (at the last minute, like you do). It's out now. There are so many things about the story that I would change if I could ... but that's what I get for procrastinating. Anyway, for my first short ever (I have no idea why my friend even remotely trusted me ... I mean, really, that was a total act of blind faith on his part) "The Last Ministry" is not bad. It's not the best story in there (and it's not remotely scary), but it's not the worst, either. I'd post it on my blog if I could, but I'm not allowed to for six months, BUT if you want to read it: Rise of the Dead. (Disclosure: I get no renumer—remun—I'm not making any money off this thing. It's just cool, and it's got me all fired up about working on my novel and completing more shorts.)

Very cool! Good luck!

Thankee. I think you did a good good thing.

 

[Dana Jean]

You're in the company of some known writers there!

 

[king family fan]

Awesome.

Right? Like sitting at the grownup's table.

 

[Spideyman]

Sounds like a winner. I will look into it!

 

[Sigmund]

Yay!

Thank you.

 

[Todash]

Yay!

Thank you.

What for? You're welcome, whatever it is.

Thank you for the hook up to the book your story is in.

Oh! I'm a big silly. Well, you are so welcome! And thank you for considering reading it!

So, are you E.L. Stice?

 

[Todash]

So, are you E.L. Stice?

I am! Unless I decide to write about foul and disreputable things. Then I'll use my full name.

 

[Dana Jean]

That's a great, writerly sounding name.

Thanks! It was a birthday present.

Except for that last bit. That was a wedding gift.

Clever...

I just read the preview of your story, very tight! Nice job.

Did you write it in your birthday suit?

Did you just fall off the wagon, Champ?

Did you just fall off the wagon, Champ?

Thought it was a legitimate question myself.

my abstinence from euphemisms is only on SKMB, my naughtiness is still rife everywhere else

Thanks! Onward and upward, as they say. Next stop: vampires! (I'm not really a horror writer, though.)
