Curious Incidents of a Flailing Mermaid

Over and Out

30 DBC - 29th September - Prompt: Plot the perfect crime was the beginning of this series on September 29th.

However day 2 September 30th was supposed to be you proudly acknowledging your success except.... things are happening to you just as you plotted by who because your victim is having everything happen right along with you. How can this be possible? Who, Why?
That's exactly what Norb and I want to know.

Dude! Seriously! I forced someone to chop their arms of with a sausage machine just so they could become an internationally renowned criminal without leaving finger prints! There is no one in their right mind who would copy that! Any sane person would just burn their finger prints off and be done with it!

Today I've decided to copout I'm afraid. Well, no, I'm not copping out per se. I'm just (to quote Elle - on hiatus) using the prompt to guide my entry rather than answering it. Although, I would argue that I've already answered it.

I hate it when people ask me where I bought something, just so they can go out and buy the exact same thing. I had a friend that did it ALL the time. In the end, if it was clothes, I'd tell here I'd got it in the US or whatever country I'd been to recently... "aww, thats a shame, I love it!" Ha ha sucker!

My point here... yes, I do have a point... is that copycats are not good. They should not be encouraged. Thus, I am taking a stand! Fran Against Copycats! FAC ... oooh not a bad acronym!

And that, my friends, concludes my 30 days of blogging...

In other news:

Last night, I stayed up too late writing. I managed to:
          Write and enter a really poor Sonnet to "Verdant Poetry Contest" 
          Write and enter an okayish Sestina to "The Lighthouse Poetry Contest" 
          Write a very random penultimate post for "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" 

Today, I have tried to continue this productivity by
          Trying to write an entry for " Magic Words Contest "  ... I say trying because I've only got 1000 words written an its 8:30pm. I was writing it to see if I could expand an idea I have for NaNo. But I think I'm being too ridged with my writing. Hmm it feels too wordy. If it feels too words at 1000 words, I dread to think what 50,000 would feel like.
          Writing "Interview with my 14-year-old self"  to enter "Invalid Item" 
          Writing this, the final post for "30-Day Blogging Challenge ON HIATUS" 
          Writing "Africa: My playground, your nightmare"  for "Invalid Item" 

Its the last day of the month which means I need to work out some new goals. I've had loads of writing goals this month and I've managed to get tons done. I'm really pleased. I've also got loads more confidence and have increase my contest entries 100% .... I just need to decide what my goals are going to be.

My cast comes off tomorrow!! I feel both "woooooohoooo" and "eeeeek" at the same time /
