Would You Shave Your Head For Cancer?


I'm guessing that not many people would, but there are a few brave folks out there who are doing just that to help raise money for cancer research.  One of those peeps is my friend Cate, who also happens to be an EMT/Firefighter and a mom of two girls.  

It's all to benefit St. Baldrick's.  She's going bald tonight and she only has $277 out of a goal of $1000.  Please help her out.  I bet you spent at least $5 on the Megamillion lotto last night or at Starbuck's this morning.  Come on, be a champ.

To help her reach her goal while doing something good, go to Cate's Donation Page

Thank you!

The A to Z Challenge

Starting Sunday, April 1, I will be participating in the A to Z Challenge.  So what does this mean?  It means that each day I have to write a blog post that has to do with a letter of the alphabet.  As it should, the challenge starts with "A" and continues on with the alphabet. Easy peasy!

Since I mostly blog about death related topics, hence the name "death writer," I plan on sticking with that theme. I realize I don't have a gazillion readers, but still, it would be kind of weird for me to write about aardvarks, bunnies and carrots when someone really wants to know if they can carry on Grandma's cremains on their flight back home to Kansas.  Don't worry, the month of April will be informative and fun.

A few days ago, I brainstormed on facebook with some writer friends for possible topics.  They were a big help, but I want to hear from you.  Is there something you're dying to know about?
Come on, don't be shy.  Tell me.

So, what's my goal for this challenge?

World domination.


I'm kidding, but not entirely.  I want readers.  It's no fun to just write and never get any feedback.  You follow me, I'll follow you.  Just don't ask me to drink any Kool Aid.
