By the way, I brought a squid stuffed animal to the kick-off. Look for it in the pictures, and I really hope you make the TGIO.

I just mentioned a squid within my first 100 words. I was trying to describe a wig that someone was carrying and thought of it being like a squid. Then I laughed and decided I needed to use that description because of you.

Written on day one:

Character is at a grocery store in Edinburgh.

Quote:
"Me too." Brenda noticed a large packet of frozen squid on sale. She picked it up. Sakiko would just make a face because it was frozen. She might even give a lecture about the false belief that frozen fish was just as healthy as fresh. Loki or Thor would probably pretend to be scared of it. She set the fish back in the freezer. "So, tell me about the Drouillard event. Anything change since the final plan?"

I tried replying to this several times. And NaNo refused to post.

So now you get the condensed version.

You're amazing.
Squids are great.
You get cookies,
so don't be late!

...and by late, I mean I need to know what write ins you may attend so that I can bring you cookies!!

Not until after the door closed did Jen unclench her hands and frowned as she filed the medical report. The squid extract treatment had been a long shot her grandfather had said. Shed hoped it would work.

I'll be at the write-in on Sunday, but cookies are not necessary.

Oh! Oh!
Yes, I might have found some squid in my story. Do squid live in New Zealand? Hmm... might have to have them migrate there.
I'll report back on whether this worked out. I will not give up until I find squid!

The CU monitored all the Lunar databases for such plans and had delivered this message to his desk in the morning along with a supplemental vitamin pack and a squid fortified protein cookie.

Done!
Although, I have a feeling this is not the last squid I will find in my story!

Does Cthulhu count as a squid?

I was always kind of scared by my mother's obsession with the 'good scissors.' It implied that somewhere in the house lurked... the evil scissors.

In my story while two characters are discussing comic books and superheroes:

Quote:No, you know whats a good book? The Squidmaster. That guy could take out Foresee any day.

Ace snorted. You read Squidmaster? Youre not allowed to call any books crap if you read that shit.


Because I needed to make up another superhero and it was the middle of a word war...

I think I can do this - I just had a great idea on how to put a squid in my novel... and it will add more word count to my story.

More squid in my novel! I knew this might happen ...

You should eat something. Teragus pulled two readi-meals out of the pack. He curled his lips. Squid. Again. Which one will you have? Ive got Imitation Pork Rinds or Squid Marsala.
Squid Marsala? Whats that?
Hell if I know. Some kind of Italian thing they dreamed up. I take it you prefer the pork rinds?
I suppose. Her tone seemed less than enthusiastic, but she dutifully took the readi-meal and peeled back the foil.


As for cookies? I like sprinkles of all kinds. Chocolate ones, multicolored ones. And frosting makes me happy. :)

Aww, the Squidmaster was apparently not a good read. It sounds kind of like a vacuum cleaner.

BUT YAY! COOKIES FOR YOU!

HUZZAH! Maybe you will get both sprinkles AND frosting.
