In honor of the first Friday of NaNoWriMo, I'm bringing you a free writing tool and not from my usual main site.

So, here it is, almost time for Halloween Party weekend and you don't have a costume?

What do  you wear under your Halloween costumes?

So, yeah, Halloween is just around the corner and that has me thinking about costumes.  Well, to be honest, costumes for adults, because, let's face it, in all our repressed, Puritanical, American, adult bodies, live crazy hedonists that just want to dress up in silly, or sexy, costumes and parade around like the goofballs we all pretend we are NOT.  And, maybe because I have a girlfriend for the first time in ages, I've been thinking about what one wears underneath that superhero costume.

Do you hear music when you read?

No, I don't mean, "Do play music while you read?", but, rather, do you hear music, like a movie soundtrack while you read a book?  I know for awhile, I was so immersed in movies and the movie experience that I couldn't help hearing certain kinds of background noise and sound effects when I read certain kinds of books.  But, what if that happened on purpose?  What if you had a way to synchronize an actual soundtrack, complete with mood music and sound effects, with the book you were reading?

Have you ever wanted a "do over"?

No, that's not spelled incorrectly.

Pretty much anything can be turned into a weapon.

What if a book slowly faded away as you read it?

I've always wanted a post-modern, surrealist pet.

Hermit crabs have always kind of fascinated me.  I've had one or two over the years, mostly as a kid.  They're pretty fascinating at first.  Think about it for a minute.  A terrestrial crab that uses the discarded shells of other creatures for a home.  Pretty weird, right?  Well, ever since I first saw these crazy, little creatures, I've thought it would be cool to put them into clear shells so you could see just what was going on inside.  Apparently, I'm not the only one.

A "mecha" or "mech" is a high-tech, man-shaped killer robot suit, popular in science-fiction.
