The latest episode of Writing In Suburbia is here!
This week I am exceptionally rambly. I know, I know, that is saying a lot. But, hey, it’s been a weird couple of weeks and I needed a few minutes to just purge and get my head on straight. It’s all part of the writing process and experience.
Enjoy!

What? Huh? WHAT? You here for a Drabble or something? That it? You want me to give you 100 words for free? Yeah?
WELL, NOTHING IS FREE!
Why? Because I’m going to ask for a little help, folks. Below is the stock plea for you to sponsor me during the Mountain Of Words campaign! I didn’t tweak the plea since I wanted to make sure you got all the info. But, beware! I’ll be tweaking this plea over the next couple of weeks. It’s gonna get crazy!
For now, read it, absorb it, act on it!
Then you can read the free drabble. BAM!
Sponsor Me!
I am participating in the 4th annual Mountain of Words Write-A-thon to support the work of Asheville Writers in the Schools and Community. This non-profit organization changes lives with creativity and literacy by connecting teaching artists with children, youth and families through innovative programs for those too often overlooked and underserved. Funds raised will support the Family Voices program in local elementary schools, summer artist residencies in programs for children from low income communities, and the new online magazine program for teens, Word on the Street. (Find out more by visiting ashevillewritersintheschools.org)
Just click the link below and sponsor me for the generous amount you feel comfortable in giving—all donations are tax-deductible. I’ll be writing as much as I can for AWITSC between now and November 19.

More Like Impossible
By
Jake Bible
The way out was blocked.
Of course it was.
Helen stared at the cave in. She stared at the stacked boulders and the small rocks that trickled down from the top of the massive pile that stood between her and freedom. She stared at the improbable –more like impossible– turn of events.
The thing howled from deep within the cave, having caught her scent once again. Helen shivered at the sound. It just never gave up.
Helen climbed the boulders and began to yank the rocks free. No way she was giving up either. That thing could kiss her ass.

Every Monster
By
Jake Bible
“I give you, the formula for a monster!” Chad exclaimed as he held the beaker aloft and showed it to his friends.
They were less than impressed.
“Seriously?” Michelle asked. “You think that’ll work?”
“I know it will,” Chad replied. “I have zero doubts this will transform anyone that drinks it into a monster.”
“And that’s for us?” Nick asked.
“What? No,” Chad said. He downed the liquid. After a bit of coughing he smiled at his friends. “It’s for me.”
“Then why are we here?” Janice asked.
“Every monster needs victims,” Chad said as his body began to change.

Welcome back to another episode of Writing In Suburbia.
Today is my birthday. I turn 43. This has special meaning to me. It means I lived. I made it. I didn’t implode.
Since the beginning of September there has been a special blog campaign called #HoldOnToTheLight where over 100+ scifi/fantasy writers have been posting about mental health issues, domestic violence issues, substance abuse issues, and so much more. In today’s episode I read my contribution that I posted to my website.
Enjoy.
About the campaign:
#HoldOntoTheLight is a blog campaign encompassing blog posts by fantasy and science fiction authors around the world in an effort to raise awareness around treatment for depression, suicide prevention, domestic violence intervention, PTSD initiatives, bullying prevention and other mental health-related issues. We believe fandom should be supportive, welcoming and inclusive, in the long tradition of fandom taking care of its own. We encourage readers and fans to seek the help they or their loved ones need without shame or embarrassment.
Please consider donating to or volunteering for organizations dedicated to treatment and prevention such as: American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, Home for the Warriors (PTSD), National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI), Canadian Mental Health Association, MIND (UK), SANE (UK), BeyondBlue (Australia), To Write Love On Her Arms and the National Suicide Prevention Hotline.
To find out more about #HoldOntoTheLight, find a list of participating authors, or reach a media contact, go to https://www.facebook.com/groups/276745236033627/
