So here I am, writing so well for this little blog (how did you like that long, long story of our trip to Miami? Cause the weekend felt as long as that story looks) but I can barely get to the next plot point for my story. Your assignment, dear reader, is to give me the next plot point. I'm not going to tell you what the story is about. I just want you to tell me a good plot point. If I use it, I'll post an excerpt. Thanks for having my back. (I just found out, by looking at the date, that it is really 8 days into it, so I should have 12,000 words by the end of tonight *bursts into hysterical tears*)

We're not much help at all, are we?
NO! NO! NO! ......None of that! Here's what you do. I want you to start a sentence, then in the middle of that sentence, have an demon take over your soul...and keep it like that for the rest of the sentence...you do that through the whole thing without explaining it....and all of a sudden it becomes the next Ghostbusters!!! OH YESH!!!! Thats too good to use i think. You could always go become a fancy blimp operator and try to fly to the moon!!!
