October 30th Topics

NaNo Topic:
My Life:
The last two days of October is a time to remember yourself. You've done the pre-planning. You know what you're going to write. There's no way you're not going to be successful. So you need to write your "About the Author" biography for the back page of your book. Who are you? What makes you the right person to write this story? This is the part that will be quoted in high school book reports for all eternity, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to find yourself utterly fascinating.


At the Mosque
The chanting for the 5 a.m. call to prayer began on time, but if she had her way ...


Manna from Heaven
If you could have something drop magically from the sky what would that be? When would it happen? What would it take to acquire the same thing through normal means?

Manna From Heaven by Wolfgang Glinka

The golden space above your head.

A part of you but more than you.

More than your brain.

More than your mind.



If you go there can you come back?

Would you come back?

Stranded in joy -

Maybe a heaven, maybe a hell.



Take it gently,

Piece by piece,

Always climbing,

Jettisoning, abandoning.


This manna from Heaven,

This hint, this challenge.

Maybe it will guide us,

Or, at least, lull us gently to our sleep.


Wolfgang Glinka
