I decided to start a blog because I need to practice writing. I am going to try and be real instead of fantastic so I can't sabotage myself into not writing. I am also going to try to get a little fancier as I go because I am being asked to learn some basic coding for work.
I have a book written in my head of a very realistic and visceral zombie apocalypse. I have all the characters created and all their story lines fleshed out. I have been working on this for almost two years. The problem is none of it is written down. Every time I sit down to write I change my mind and make small tweaks that change how everything happens. I have written one characters introduction six times.
Now I plan to blog about zombies. The URL is derived from the acronym ZPAW which means Zombie Post Apocalyptic World.
The main reason I am drawn to zombies is not the horror aspect or the gore. I don't want to write about heroes who thrive in a living hell. I want to have access to a fantasy world that is so bad that it justifies the depression I feel when everything is going perfect in my life.
I will try to write something that involves zombies in the near future. The short term plan for this ill thought out blog is to flesh out a template for a world. You can't do fiction without first building a world and if everything is planned and written down then there will be no need to change my mind halfway into the first chapter.
Peace
I look forward to reading your work.
