Shotguns and Hand Grenades
So, I asked the guy at work with the most guns how hard he thought it would be to get ahold of hand grenades (if one were a totally illegal, criminal type person, not, you know...me). And he rates it more difficult than getting a hold of shotguns but totally doable. And we both agree that even I could probably make hand grenades if I wanted to--and had access to the internets. And that it would be loads easier than making shotguns.
Also, when I told him about the writing rule that calls for blowing things up when you don't know what to write next, he said that he would read way more short stories if more people followed that rule.

So the grenades are staying?
That's okay with me! I just hit a lull, right around 60 pages, and realized that it's time to blow something else up, or kill somebody off.

So far the grenades are staying. (always subject to change later on).
I mean I've done Research!
Yay, explosions!!!
Someday I'm going to write a story called Nothing but Explosions from Beginning to End. It will probably be a love story.

Oh, I double-dog dare you to write that story!!!
You'd have to put a colon in, thusly.
"Nothing but Explosions from Beginning to End: A Love Story."
And then send it to GVG.

You're on!
And yes, the colon makes it perfect.
