To the Dark Gods of Writing (most specifically Caffeinatrix, from whom all Blessings and Inspiration Flow,)
Hi. I'm sure you've noticed that I'm quite behind. In exchange for time to write that doesn't jeopardize my job or relationships, the death (or lengthy incarcerations) of my Inner Editor and Inner Procrastinator, interactive, 3-D characters, overactivity on the part of my muse, and some semblance of a point to my story, I will gladly offer up to you:
- The used coffee grounds from every pot of coffee I have to brew to survive this month
- Approximately 1/4 pound of dusty-tasting UDF French Roast coffee
- 1 package of multi-colored Post-It page markers
- All gel ink pens in my possession
- The surprise Great Dane my roommates adopted for use as your personal steed
- My fluffy-edged, sequined, light-up pink bunny ears
- A skein of hand dyed yarn
- An Invader Zim postcard
- The old strings from my boyfriend's mandolin
I also promise to light a circle of candles on the front lawn and fire hoop inside them in your name(s) the moment I reach 50K.
Yours in Wordy and Caffeinated Reverence,
Hex
