Morbidity

Nano’ing it up.  At just over 13,100k words now - need to get caught up.

With my Amazon Gift Card from Mom & Tommy (thx, guys - best bday present!) I got some “research” material as well:

  • Mortician Diaries by June Knights Nadle
  • Deadhouse: Life in a Coroner’s Office by John Temple
  • The Undertaking: Life Studies from the Dismal Trade by Thomas Lynch


Ok, it’s not *all* research - I’m a morbid-kinda gal and I love reading this stuff.  Secondary dream job (as opposed to writing & web design, of course) would be to work in a funeral home.  Death fascinates me; it’s inescapable - it will happen to each and every one of us and even before that it will touch our lives again and again.

Writing this Nano novel is also helping me deal with the grief and pain of losing my grandfather this past June; he was my world.  If I am ever able to turn this mess of words into an actual novel, it will be dedicated to my grandparents.  All the more reason to get it done, eh?

Let me get back to my morbid writing… ^_^
