Why They Cried: Tomorrow, the Auction

“Why They Cried: Roy,” the penultimate installment of my Significant Objects series is now up at Fictionaut. The final installment, “Why They Cried: Jacqueline,” will appear tomorrow at SignificantObjects.com, paired with an object, which will then be auctioned off with the proceeds going to Girls Write Now. (Somewhat tantalizing hint: My object is in this grid if you want to try to guess what it is.) Here are the installments that have appeared so far, if you want to catch up.

Why They Cried: Ted
Why They Cried: Deano
Why They Cried: Jisette

And here are my blog posts from this week about the project, objects, meaning, and why I chose to do a serial.

Why do people pay for Significant Objects?
Are serials better suited to the way we read now?

Look for the auction announcement tomorrow.
