like fish in a barrel

doing a little extracurricular writing today, working on the "plot" of my "novel" for NaNoWriMo. not ashamed to say i'm working on a collection of zombie-themed short stories. because you know what's easy to come up with? zombie-related plots. what's so non-threatening about this? i don't know. maybe my genre is zombies. maybe it's just completely non-threatening because it doesn't have to be good. do i think i could write 50000 words about zombies and humans affected by them? damn straight.
of course, we'll see how confident i am once november 1 hits.
so far i have 28 zombie story plots.
each one more awesome than the next.

In his most recent collection of short stories, Neil Gaiman has a piece entitled "Fifteen cards from a vampire tarot deck"; it's a set of vignettes, each one inspired by a tarot card and each one about vampires.

Maybe you can have a zombie tarot deck!
