Gone for a Moment

Sorry about not posting last week. I’ve had a lot on my plate lately, both in my writing life and in my personal life. I’ll let you know more about some exciting new projects I’m working very soon – well, as soon as I get updated!

Writing Prompt (5-28-08)

“You wake up one fine morning with the sun streaming in through the bedroom window and birds singing and dancing outside. Everything is perfect, until the troll (yes, quite literally a troll) from across the street starts pounding on your door, complaining that he saw your dog tear up his rosebushes then steal his newspaper. Problem is, your poor pooch died three months ago.”

As always, feel free to post your creations (or links to your creations) in the comments section.

 

Writing Prompt (5-19-08)

“Once again, here is another writing prompt that is a bit different. Take the title of any song by The Beatles and write an urban fantasy story based solely on the title.”

New Zombie Article on Suite 101

I wrote an article called New Zombie Cult Classics that is currently up on Suite 101, and it matches the theme of the last writing prompt. I discuss a few of the recent properties in the zombie genre. Ironically, zombies have more life than ever! Check it out if you get the chance.

Writing Prompt (5-16-08)

“According to movies, novels, and comic books, a zombie invasion is imminent. How do you think it’s going to happen? Radiation? Comet dust? A virus? Something else? Let us know what you think causes the outbreak and how it can be stopped, if at all.”
