May Calendar
We use the calendar as a plot device. You'll find suggestions for daily plots most days, then there are big plots - we have two this month and a mini three-day plot. For the daily plots, you may use them on any day you would like. This is just an instrument to help you come up with ideas. You can advertise your business on the calendar. Sookie uses it to give discounts to her clientele or you may host your own party, the ways you may use the calendar are endless. If you have plot suggestions, please share them.
Also please put your birthday and your muses birthday under the Calendar for their/your birth month.
Enjoy and thanks for using the calendar. Remember to use the plot tag when you are posting to a plot. It counts for points.
