WIP Wednesday: The Waiting Game

Aimee's due date was last Sunday (12/11/11).  So we are waiting.

And waiting.

And the longer we wait, the closer baby's birthday will be to Christmas, for which he/she will never forgive his/her parents (at least during the teen years).

In the mean time, I'm writing about zombies, but doing so on my terms:


Had I known I’d be shot in the back, I might have stayed in my bunk.


(Here's a dirty little secret: editors of small press mags might shy away from zombies, but the e-reading public sure doesn't.)

Booooks, booooks, booooks...

I sure hope that last comment is correct...after I wrap up Book 2 of this series, I'm switching back to my ill-fated zombie novel...

And yay for almost-Christmas babies!

Barry - It seems so (for now). People hunger for the flesh-eaters, no pun intended.

It's my personal opinion that mags that shy away from ANY monsters are making a mistake!

... not that I have ANY vested interested in saying that. AHEM.

Hope Amy's not feeling too miserable. I was just thinking that yesterday about the XMas due date... oh man.

Aaron Polson said...

Katey - Yeah, re: Xmas... Somebody gets an F for "family planning". *whistles and looks the other way*

I have a good friend whose birthday is right around Christmas. To this day (he's 30), he calls it his "screwed-out-of-a-present-day."

Ooh, hopefully he/she will arrive this week.

There can never be too many zombies. Well unless they're chasing me down the street and then one is too many.

Mom, mother in-law and wife are all around X-mas.

I found it good and bad starting “Tales from TSC” with a zombie story. One guy told me after downloading a sample that he would have read the rest of the book but he was tired of Zombies. But others have told me it was their favorite. I guess you can’t make everyone happy.
