It hasn't been a slow two weeks since I last posted. Far from it.
I've dredged through most of 'In The Dark,' have checked out some
other author's stories, and just today got an idea from an odd
source. Not an unlikely one, mind you. Odd.
While I think I'll always bear a grudge against the SyFy channel for
making us suffer through wrestling, they've been able to come up with
one or two interesting shows. Case in point, a little series that I
caught the trailer for last night. Zombies are hot these days, and
there's a small town in Alabama which is trying to take advantage of
that. A home-grown production company has been trying to make a film
for a while, and if the trailer is any indication, they're having
mixed results.
With absolutely no idea what the movie is about, I can see potential
in the setting. A quiet town, life at an easy pace, and suddenly –
mayhem. American pie meets today's metaphor for cannibalism, with
all the Freudian overtones. Yummy.
As I said, this is a short update. I had a longer one in mind, but
just before I finished it, I read through it. Crap. Worse, it was
self-indulgent crap. So it's gone. Better short than garbage.
I've been thinking of my end of the month plans, too. I wonder what
the well-dressed plague doctor is wearing these days?
Still writing.
