Well figured I better get back into the swing of doing these posts. I’m sure there aren’t thousands of people hanging on my every word but thats okay.
Spring is here and the pollen is out. I recently finished a short story entitled “Hunt Thru The Night” which is about a late night radio host. What, not thrilling enough for you, well did I mention he was on the air when the zombie uprising started? The short synopsis of it is that everything started out normal and the night slowly went to hell. People call in saying they are seeing the military driving around in gas masks, another sees a cop being attached, another had to kill his wife when she attacked him. All that an more. Oh yeah it doesn’t end on a happy note either.
I submitted this story to a publisher that was looking for short stories based in first person but I haven’t heard anything back from them yet. When I do I’ll post something, probably on Twitter. The inspiration for the story came from a late night radio show I listen to call Coast to Coast AM. Actually I don’t listen to it at night I just download the shows mp3’s and have a listen through work.
This month I kicked off Script Frenzy and gave up yesterday. I just didn’t prep much and I’m finding that my scripting skills really need some work. I kept wanting to add more description that I couldn’t figure out how to put into a audio presentation like I can with writing. So as a result I am back to working or tearing apart my Nanowirmo novel entitled Urban. This story has a bunch of weird crap going on in it. Multiuniverse, multiple people, and every cyrptozoology critter you can think of. I also dug out my ‘Journal of a Serial Killer’ notes and I’m working on them. Writing the book that is note becoming a serial killer.
Scratch that last part, see this is what happens when I write up a post for my blog and then forget to post it for a day. Yesterday I had a idea. Actually my muse came up to me, said hi, then drop kicked me in the temple. I have a new novel that I am going to be working on and just need to put some prep work in it. I have a beginning, middle, and near the end idea laid out, sorta. Need to work on characters and some other things. Did I mention I even had the book cover figured out already? Really. The idea just came to me. Of course there isn’t a title yet but I still have a bunch to work through. Oh yeah, there are zombies in this one.
Okay that’s all you get for now.
