Another writing update coming at ya! There is not a whole lot to report. This week, I am about half way finished with the Halloween short story and should be done by Sunday. I have been writing a few other ideas this week on other short stories in a variety of genres, but I won't start those until I have a couple more done. I also read Roald Dahl's short horror story, "Royal Jelly," which I highly recommend if you want to get in to the Halloween mood.

What spurred on a lot of those recent ideas was the game, Superfight. Superfight is a card game where two players pit a random creature or person against each other in a battle to the death, determined by a jury of your peers. The game requires players to argue their case for why their character would win the fight. Each player gets three cards, one character card and two modifier cards.

The game gets hilarious when you are playing with good friends and you draw ridiculous characters with equally crazy modifiers. For example, our latest game involved one of the players to face off against Cthulhu (character card), wearing diamond armor (modifier card), carrying way too many grocery bags (another crazy modifier card).

It made for some great laughs, but it also got my mind moving about far reaching ideas and unique plots I know I wouldn't of thought of otherwise.

Later this week (hopefully Friday) will let everyone know where you can find this story.

Until next week, keep writing everyone! - J.J.
