Oh hey, a Wrimo!
I was considering doing horror for NaNo. Something a bit different from my usual comedy.

I'm gonna do a horror for Augno: http://augno.thewrigro.com/. As for the Nano...I may end up going back to romance.

Stick with what you know for the big one, eh?

Yeah.
That's the plan.

Can it be a horror poem?
-
-
It must be a story. It's odd: I can write horror poetry, but when it comes to horror stories...I sort of get lost.

I might enter this...
-
I might enter this if I get the chance to enter something that I think would fit the rules. I never use chatspeak, I always label appropriately, and I also use correct grammar. The only problem is finding out which story i should enter.
I should be able to find something... I hope it's something good. -
Yay! I was the last entry! Lol....I wrote a funny horror too!
