This Is How You Die

Submit Your Doom

This is what I want from you:

I want to know how you’re going to die.

This can be fantasy. This can be parody. This can be a meditation on the fear or power of death.

Maybe it’s how you want to die. Or are afraid to die. Or how you’ve always expected to die.

You can send it to me at terribleminds at gmail.

If you want to send something physical in the mail, email me and I can get you an address.

Or you can submit direct to the Tumblr here: http://how-you-die.tumblr.com/submit

It can be straight text (preferably under 100 words; shorter is almost universally better).

But I’d also like a mix of other media if possible:

Photos, music, videos, postcards. Anything that tells a story of how you expect to die.

Spread the word.

Play along.

It’s time to die.

Sssssss

My death will involve a venomous snake, an irritated expression, and the words, “I thought boomslangs were imagin—”

Last Words

My last words will be “Stop worrying. I’m not, and besides, this should work fine.” And it promptly won’t.

Review of Blackbirds by Chuck Wendig

writerpie:

So, I’ve never really done reviews, so I might as well just hop into it, right?

I’m sort of going to divide this into a few sections: Character, Plot, Storytelling Devices, Suspense/Tension, Overall Writing, and Overall Story. I’ll just use a scale of five for simplicity.

Just for the record, this is an independent review, so I’m not even getting paid for writing this or anything. I just wrote it because I thought I’d pass on this title.

The summary of the story can be found here.
